Rule service and roles

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.

Hi,

A contributor and a collaborator is able to see "create rules" in web client and enter in wizard but when they try to create rule there is an error :
"Insufficient permissions to save a rule"

When i look rule service in xml i see that this service use node service.

Where are created rule ?
Is there an ACL for rules ?

I think contributor and collaborator wouldn't be able to see this in web client.
Is there a bug ?

The manage rules does indeed have a create rule link which is not protected by any permissions check so this could be deemed as a bug. Feel free to raise this in JIRA.

However, the page that contains the link is navigated to via the Manage Rules action, which is protected by a "CreateChildren" permission check. This means that only users with the "CreateChildren" permission should be able to get to manage rules screen and thus to the create rule screen.

Contributors and Collaborators do not have the "CreateChildren" permission, so in theory the manage rules action should not be present. The best thing is to raise this issue in JIRA and we'll investigate further.
