Physical Volume "Create Documents" Unchecked When Created By Logical Volume

asked on March 15, 2022

We have various customers where we have Logical volumes with their default security setup to allow users to create documents.  These users can be the Everyone group, Laserfiche users/groups, and/or AD users/groups.  Below is an example showing the Everyone group having the "Create documents" box checked for a Logical volume that rolls over every 20,000 MB.  

 

However when the corresponding Physical volumes are created, all of the various users/groups receive the appropriate permissions except the "Create documents" box, which is now unchecked.  Below is one of 22 Physical volumes, created by the above Logical volume, that now have that box unchecked.

 

Even an account that is granted Allow for all options on the Logical volume, gets the "Create documents" option unchecked in the Physical volumes.

 

This does not appear to effect the operation, as all of the users/groups still have the ability to create documents within the latest Physical volume.  I know Laserfiche has functioned this way for many years but I am curious to know more about why this happens and how the security is enforced with it unchecked?

This is expected. The user has rights to create documents in the logical volume and LF manages which physical volume the document ends up in under the hood.

If the user is granted rights to the underlying physical volume directly, they'll be able to see if in their volume list and use it directly (but, obviously, the rollover won't apply when the volume is full). Most people find this setup undesirable because most users are not expected to understand or make decisions on which physical volume a document should land in.

Makes sense.  I've wondered about this for years and just wanted to know the details.  Thanks for the info!
