User/Group Search in 'Manage Permissions' needs 3 chars

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

I have a folder in Alfresco share and wish to grant access to all members of our HR department. They all belong to a group that is called - surprise, surprise - HR. The "Manage Permissions" menu item only offers a search function, but no dropdown list. The problem is that the search function asks for at least three letters, and I have only two. Is there a method to fool the interface to accept two letters?

Either you can change back-end validation to accept 2 letters while searching group OR you can set permission directly through below webscript.

URL POST script: http://<server:port>/alfresco/service/slingshot/doclib/permissions/workspace/SpacesStore/<folder node UUID>
JSON:
{"permissions":[{"authority":"GROUP_HR","role":"Consumer"}],"isInherited":false}

Change permission as per your requirement.

Hope this helps!
