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.

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.

If CUG is not having anything then yes 10 users will be able to see. If CUG has some group/user other that 10 users then No.

I dont think user will be able to see folder in this case.I would suggest to setup your local instance and validate once.
