'Collection is read-only' error after configuring layer security

Hi

I am in the throws of evaluating some of the enhancements available in GE 3.12, in particular the ability to define layer/component security.

However I don't seem to be able to get it to work where I have Group layers defined.

I have a couple of issues:

• Setting Deny permissions on the parent of the group has no effect on the child layers in that group if they are defined to Inherit permissions from the parent - their content is still visible in the Viewer. In fact, the Parent is still visible in the Viewer too, so it doesn't appear to do anything.

/customer/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P6000000e88OzEAI

 

• Leaving the parent to Inherit from a Site with Allow permissions, and setting all child layer permissions to Deny causes the initialization error 'Collection is read-only'. Leaving just one of those child layers to Inherit prevents the error, but then obviously that layer is visible in the Viewer. All other denied child layers are not, as I would expect.

/customer/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P6000000e88P4EAI

Anybody else experienced this issue or know how to prevent display of a Group layer and all children via Layer Security?

cheers

Ewan

PS I've done all the usual cache-clearing

  I have seen the same behavior, I believe there is an issue with Group layer security Geocortex is working on.

  I needed to un-group the layers I was working with, luckily there were only four so it was not as onerous as it could have been,

  I have had success in denying access to map services, perhaps for now you could put those layers in a separate service, and set "allow" explicitly for the group you are granting access.

  Hi Eric,

  The 'Collection is read-only' error has been resolved and a fix will be in the next release.

  Wow! Nice to know Latitude are monitoring this forum so closely.

  Thanks for the prompt replies from both of you.

  I'll give the service separation idea a go in the meantime.

  cheers
