I downgraded my browser for now so that I could make view permissions "explicit". But I'm still a little bit confused about how they work. First, when I create the view it asks me if I'd like to make it available to all users. But if I say yes, it doesn't really make the view available to all users, but to users who have permissions to the underlying datasets. This is the same thing as choosing "default" in Manage Views, but it gives the permissions a different name ("public" vs "default"). Is that how this is supposed to work? Here is what I am trying to do: I have a study dataset, called Demographics, that is not readable by most users. However, I would like ALL users to be able to see certain columns from that dataset and also see the data from those "public" columns summarized in a wiki page. By creating a view with explicit permissions and checking all groups, I can allow my users to see the columns. But they still can't see the wiki page. If I do a selectRows with schemaName="Demographics" and viewName="Public", users get an error message that SchemaName Demographics does not exist (because they don't have permissions to read it). Is there any way to accomplish this? Thanks, Jen |
