Sling Oak restrictions not working - am I missing something?

Hi,



I'm playing around with the Sling Oak restriction feature and I can't seem to get it working.



The simple case I'm trying right now is to allow a user 'alice' to have full access to all nodes at or below nodes with Sling resource type 'foo'.  Here's the test procedure I'm following:



1.) Fire up sling-starter 11 and log into the Composum browser as admin.

2.) Add a user 'alice'.

3.) Add permission jcr:read to '/' for alice so she can browse in Composum.

4.) Create a sling:Folder node '/content/data' with Sling resource type 'foo'.

5.) Create a sling:Folder node '/content/data/child1' with Sling resource type 'foo'.

6.) For the '/content/data' node, add a permission with principal 'alice', rule 'allow', privileges 'jcr:all', and restrictions 'sling:resourceTypesWithDescendants=foo'.

7.) In a separate browser, log in as alice and go to Composum.

8.) As alice, try to create the node '/content/data/child2'.



Expected: User 'alice' can create the node.

Actual: The Composum "Create New Node" dialog displays the error "Error 400 javax.jcr.AccessDeniedException: OakAccess0000: Access denied" and the node is not created.



If I check effective permissions in Composum for /content/data and /content/data/child1, I see that 'alice' does receive jcr:all for both nodes.  Further, I can perform this check either as admin or alice, whereas I cannot look at permissions on /content as alice.



If I try the Sling POST servlet as alice to create the node, I get a different exception "org.apache.sling.api.resource.PersistenceException: Resource at '/content/data/foo' is not modifiable."



Am I misunderstanding something about how restrictions work?  Thank you for any guidance you can offer!



John



The stack trace for the failure when creating via Composum is:

Hi John,

I had a look and I could reproduce. I have used this module to hide 
existing nodes (denies), that's why I've never run into it.

The root cause is that for the create case, not only [1] but also [2] 
gets called (since there is no tree available). ResourceTypePattern [3] 
always returns false in the same way as oak ootb NodeTypePattern [4]. So 
I'm not sure if we can even solve this, but I'd like to try, please 
create an issue in JIRA for this.
