Hello -

I am trying to get a better grasp of the role configuration in Workdesk. Where do I define roles and associate them to users? How are they tied to the Alfresco repository roles? I followed the DBRole setup steps from the installation guide, but when I access the Admin plugin, I am unable to select users/roles. all I would like to do is use selective configuration for semi-virtual folders…

I just noticed that the '+' by the root folder flashes for a second and disappears when i open a new folder. What could that be due to?

thanks!

Hi,

in the Admin plugin there should be a tab for role management,
if available you would see an input field with a button labeled like "…".
Pressing it would provide you a new Form/Dialog where you can search for groups,
and you can then select from search result on of them.

Since you use an CMIS connection you have also to configure one of the Authentication parts,
with 4.1.1.0 there is the possibility to request information directly from Alfresco:

  <Authentication mode="ALFRESCO">
    <BaseURL>http://localhost:8080/alfresco</BaseURL>                
  </Authentication>
‍‍‍‍‍

Look for examples in the owbootstrap.xml.

Cheers,
