Hi

I would like to customize the permissions of my site Share using "permissionDefinition.xml" and "sitePermissionDefinition.xml." files

I want create a new role "myRole" which can only create a new children (CreateChildren and LinkChildren permission) on the "my:myType"

Any suggestions?

Regards
Alessandro

Hello,

this is not possible using only permission customization. First of all, CreateChildren / LinkChildren are permissions on the parent and do not restrict the potential to create children of specific types. Furthermore, CreateChildren / LinkChildren are defined on the sys:base type and can (should) not be redefined to another type without causing major issues with other parts of Alfresco.

You would need to work with a combination of behaviour / policy implementation, user interface configuration and custom permissions to restrict the ability of users to create new children for specific types…
