IBM OnDemand Folders displaying to all users

Hi,

Entire list of Folders are available for all the users. (Problem !)

However, When I checked the User - Folder permission. Out of all the available folders, User can see (Selected) only what he is supposed to see.

Any tips to fix this one ?

Thanks,
Raj

Make yourself clear about the issue. Where did it happen? What application etc.

Upon logging, IBM OnDemand tool is displaying the complete the list of Folders are for all the users.

Generally, Users are restricted to view all the folders. Only few folders should be visible to users.

Any pointers ??

Please confirm that you are referring to Content Manager OnDemand.

I have never used it before... but whenever something does not work as expected, I perform the customization process again (if possible).

Are you an administrator for OnDemand? When I was in system support, I used to have both an admin ID and also a non-Admin ID so that I could verify stuff from the user's perspective.

Did it use to work and now stopped working? What changed?

Can you show us a text screen shot of the permission profiles? (use CODE tags here)

Can you show us a screen shot of the list of folders? (use CODE tags here)

Yes, I am talking about IBM Content Manager OnDemand

customization process again ?

Yes, I do have both OnDemand Admin and Client access.

Permission profiles of folders or users ?

Thanks much for your time and patience

You are not providing enough information for us to provide even general help.

I suggest downloading 'IBM Content Manager OnDemand Guide', SG24-6915. Study chapters 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 18. And all of the other chapters.

See also 'installing ondemand for z/OS'. In particular, there are sections for 'preparing the system for use' and 'verifying
the installation'.

and read the other manuals: www.ibm.com/support/pages/content-manager-ondemand-zos-v105-publication-library
