Lets say I have MyFolder in Assets.

I have set 10 users ACL as jcr:read.

out of 10 only for 4 users I have set as a closed users/group.

Then in effect how many users will able to access the Myfolder.

I validated directly on publisher after login from 2 different users. User A from Group A and User B from Group B. I tested on we-retail assets folder and for only User A it was visible in CRXDE.

Hi,

 

I think all 10 users should have access to the folder as all of them are given read access.

    Please check the ACL resolution for specific groups. That will give you an idea about the permission being set on on the specific resources.

     

    Go to Tools -> Security->Permissions and select the user for which you want to check the permissions

      Hello - All 10 users should have read access to the "Assets" folder.

        Hi @s1101v

          Only 4 users should have access as CUG will allow jcr:read access to only those users/group which are added at folder level. For other 6 users, even if you give read access it will be non-effective and that folder wont be accessible to them.

          Refer this screenshot from :

          I have validated similar use case using 2 groups(A and B) while only group A was added in CUG. Both groups had full access of content in terms of permission but for only group A folder is accessible.

            hi @sachin_arora_  Thank you 

            I have validated similar use case using 2 groups(A and B) while only group A was added in CUG. Both groups had full access of content in terms of permission but for only group A folder is accessible. 

            How you check this 

            using json responce?
