Permissions and Linking

posted on February 6, 2015

Hello,

I have a question about permissions and linking. We built an accounts payable workflow for someone that has PO and Invoices as separate documents. To make it easy on them to always be able to get to the purchase order, we made the workflow that adds links based on a PO# search. This works well with one exception. Since AP and purchasing are different departments, accounts payable does not have modify privileges to the purchase order document except for the ability to add annotations. Because of this the user gets permission denied when attempting to delete their invoice document if it is linked. If it is not linked, the user can delete their invoice document just fine.

Is this intended and what is your recommended workaround? I thought about making a quick business process that deletes a document for them, or a dropdown status change that does this for them from workflow, but it seems like extra hassle to me. This is on version 9.2.

Thank you,

From what I  recall, the user needs the permissions to be able to delete in the folder where the document resides. If they don't have those permissions then they can't delete.

The user has full permissions to delete/modify/everything on the invoice document, but they do not have modify permissions to the purchase order document which it is linked to.

Hi John,

Are you referring to document relationship links? I wasn't able to recreate the issue. I created a document relationship between two documents. Then I logged into the repository as a user that only has rights to one of those documents and was able to delete that document. I'm also using Laserfiche 9.2 SP1.

Please open a support case if further assistance is needed to track down why the user is unable to delete that invoice when it's linked to the purchase order.

Regards
