Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Description of problem

Especially in Upgraded DNN installations it's quite common for the folders not to have any Security Rights for Admin users. This will lead to an Empty File manager for Administrators.

IMO we could make some small improvements to the Resource manager to make the life of an Admin with that issue a bit easier.

I still don't know what causes this but I see the issue at least a few times a year.

Description of solution

ATM the checkboxen for an Admin are filled with "locks" even if they are absent.

This is on a Portal where the rights for the Admin user are missing.

IMO we could

A. Add a warning (red icon?) or leave the checkboxes open if the security setting for an Admin is missing.

B. Save the default Admin security Settings for a folder when saving even if they are not present (AFAIK think the old module did that).

That way a Superuser with this issue gets an indication of the issue and there's way out of this using the DNN interface.
