Sitecore Access rights for a custom role not behaving as i expected

I am having trouble with setting the secutrity rights for the Media Library of one of our customers. For the "Sitecore Client Authoring" role I have specifed that it has only read access for the entire Media Library. I needed to "unprotect" items to do this but the Access Viewer tells I have succeeded. Subsequently I wanted to specify access rights for a custom role. That custom role is a member of the following roles:

• sitecore\Sitecore Client Forms Author
• sitecore\Sitecore Client AccountManaging
• sitecore\Sitecore ClientAuthoring
• sitecore\Author
• sitecore\Sitecore Marketeer Form Author

The problem is that the Access Viewer keeps telling me (when I look at the access rights for that custom role) that my custom role has write rights on Directory A because the sitecore\Sitecore Client Authoring account has been granted the 'item:write' access right for the '/sitecore/media library' item. When I look at the sitecore\Sitecore Client Authoring role in the Access Viewer the system tells me a different story. There the sitecore\Sitecore Client Authoring role only has read rights.

This开发者_Python百科 is the basic structure of the Media Library for this customer.

Media Library

• Files

  • Directory A
  • Directory B
  • Directory C etc.

• Images

  • Directory A'
  • Directory B'
  • Directory C' etc.

Any idea why the write access rights are granted to my custom role?

You could also try to reset the cache(/sitecore/admin/cache.aspx). If it's the 6.X issue, the access result is not resetted in time, so the wrong result keeps available in the cache.

Try iisreset and take a look at Access Viewer again. Does it reflect the situation correctly now?

It seems there was an issue in some older versions of SC 6.X.
