I created a Dashlet in Alfresco Share with an Overwiew of the Replication Jobs. I changed the permissions in the Replication Definition Webscripts from admin to user. As Admin i can start the Replication Job from the Dashlet.

Is it possible to adjust the permissions, that a Site Manager or User can start the Replication Job? I still got a "Access Denied Problem". Where do i have to look at?

Thanks!

No, all the Replication Job WebScripts explicitly require admin privileges so it is not possible to do this out-of-the-box.

If you really want to achieve this then your only option would be to override the relevant WebScripts (essentially copy/paste the defaults) and change the *.desc.xml files to change

<authentication>admin</authentication>

to be 

<authentication>user</authentication>

However, that would make them available for any user to run. You would need to further edit the WebScripts to make checks that the user is a member of a specific group.

  • Thanks! I changed already the authentication in every WebScript and i still get an Access denied Error. The dashlet to start the replication job is only visible for Site Managers. – testuser_123 Apr 20 '16 at 06:55
  • Changings the authentication in the WebScripts doesn't help. I also changed the permission for the replication definition itself, but i still get an access denied error. any Ideas? – testuser_123 Apr 22 '16 at 14:23

I changed the authentication to

<authentication runas="admin">user</authentication>

That helped for me.
