Hi nehaSharma,

 

Thanks for the reply!  

 

I think I understand, but just to be sure... are you saying that the following are true?

  1. Permission settings for a role configured at the root node sets the global defaults for that role throughout the community. [Global defaults can be overridden by explicit Deny, as normal].
  2. Granting "Make REST API calls with Read access" and "Make REST API calls with Modify access" for a user essentially ignores all other permissions settings for that node... as long as the actions are performed via API.

 

Thanks again!

Tested #1 and it worked as you described, though I did encounter some odd behavior. If I have time, I'll think through the logic on what I observed.

Thanks nehaSharma
