Submit Your Suggestions for Viewpoint for Projects

Private security has a bug issue currently in which even an admin cant edit permissions of a folder thats set as private.

Even a project Admin will full edit and permission rights, including being in the list of Private exceptions cant modify a container thats set at private, unless that specific admin was the person who set it as such. 


Viewpoint edit: To give some further detail here; Private Security is a separate layer of visibility control over containers - if a list of private recipients is added on a container by a user, then that user controls that list. This Idea suggests that this shouldn't be the case and if a user on the list has relevant permissions in the Permissions layer underneath, then they should also be able to control that list. This introduces risk that Private Security was originally designed to mitigate, but can be reconsidered if our users see a need for this behavioural change?
