Bug #1582
openNo Error Msg displayed when network update of datapackage failed due to access control
0%
Description
Reported by Andrea:
A data package with data table was opened using Morpho. (bowles.436.5)
This was done after doing login in Morpho using Andrea's ID. The document has
read access for public and all for uid=bowles,o=nceas only.
Then the data table is deleted and the document is saved locally and over the
network. No new screen is opened. So user still sees bowles.436.5 instead of
bowles.436.6
There was a 436.6 in the data directory on the local file system. But the
metacat server still had 436.5
So Metacat didn't allow update of document due to access control. But no error
message was displayed to the user. Another issue is when network update fails,
should the local copy which was created successfully should be kept or deleted.
If it is kept, then shouldn't the DP display window update to show the new
version of the document? i.e. 436.6 instead of 436.5

After getting a dp from the network, editing it and saving it locally, you can
successfully save it back to the network (although the name in the docid is
changed). Access permissions should prevent this from happening.

The second part of this bug will become a new bug.
