FAMTd not using organizational roles. So that, Filr calculates the folder permission rights in a wrong way for the following scenario:
- Assume we have X:\folder1\subfolder1.1.
- UserA doesn't have rights to folder1, but has rights to subfolder1.1 through his role RoleA.

In the above scenario, If I tried to access X:\folder1, I'm getting "The folder is not accessible." error message.
If the rights to subfolder1.1 is assigned to the user directly using his username not his role, the above scenario works correctly.

• I fully support this request, we have not implemented FILR specifically because of this. We heavily use groups and roles for file access.

• Call support. By modifying a configuration file on Filr web servers we've been able to support rights assigned to organizational roles.
  But I agree, it should be natively supported.

• Support this - there's little point in having rich abstraction mechanisms to handle roles and then be unable to use them because a product comes along which works in a more simplistic way.

• I believe this is vital to the continued success of NSS and Filr in a highly competitive environment.
