We are trying to setup permissions for Web2 users with Web license (not Viewer) and the folder permissions that work in the PDM client do not follow over to Web2. The example being folders that are not visible to client users now can see all folders on the web client.
More detrimentally, ALL users have the option to change state, check out, download, and delete when their permissions limit that in the client.
Does this mean we are required to obtain Viewer licenses? I find that hard to believe since I still would want to limit some editors from deleting a file.
I don't know what, but you have something wrong in your system. User permissions should be the same within Web2 and the thick client. You don't have to get special licenses.
