1.6 Important changes- New Owner Assignment:
-
The owner of all newly created objects automatically becomes the owner of the
workspace (the owner role is now inherited by the "ambient" folder).
This is in opposite to the behaviour of previous BSCW versions (e.g. 4.1),
where the creator of an object also was the owner of the object.
This leads to the following effects:
-
Users cannot lose the access path to owned objects by accidental deletion of their workspace membership.
-
The quota system assigns utilised resources of all contained objects of a workspace to the
owner (and not any longer to the different object creators)
- Changed behaviour of the "Cut" and "Delete" actions
-
The actions "cut" and "delete" change the owner of an object:
owner becomes the user who cut/deleted the object (the object inherits the
owner of the ambient folder (who is in this case the owner of the clipboard resp. the trash)).
- Attention: caused by this owner change the action "destroy" always destroys objects contained in the trash.
The behaviour of previous BSCW versions (e.g. 4.1) to distribute "destroyed" objects first into the trash of the owner is omitted.
