Start-Up, Create Data Source and Connect Data Source wizard folder and file permission validation
With the on-going fight against security and virus concerns, more businesses are reducing their surface area and permissions to users. Recently we have seen more users being moved towards cloud storage of their User data (ie. Documents folders) which has at times caused an unintended reduction of user access to folders and files.
To assist with identifying potential access issues up front we have surfaced the brute-force check we complete within the wizard (validation of create folder, create file, append file, remove file and remove folder). Note: Where an error occurs at any of the following steps in this process it will generally signify that you have not been provided the appropriate permissions as follows:
Create temp folder - users require the ability to create folders
Create test file - users require the ability to create/write files
Read test file - users require the ability to read files
Append test file - users require the ability to modify/write files
Remove test file - users require the ability to delete files
Remove test folder - users require the ability to delete folders
