User gets "The operation could not be completed because you do not have enough access privileges."
Does anyone know why this could be happening? User tries to save into a directory, but gets the error message.

I checked permissions on directory and see the following:

 drwxrwxr-x 10 root pm 1024 Nov 22 14:46 Folder 1
drwxrwxr-x 10 root pm 1024 Oct 19 11:55 Folder 2
drwxrwxr-x 10 root pm 1024 Nov 11 10:02 Folder 3

I then verified that user's account is in the 'pm' group so with the way the directory perms are set up, he should be able to write into 'Folder 1', for example.

What am I missing? (This is on a Solaris 10 box, if that helps.)

I tried removing and then readding the 'pm' group from the 17 groups he has in his user account but that didn't resolve the issue.

I then thought that maybe he was hitting some max group limit so I created a new test user, put that user in only the 'pm' group and I still get the same error.

Could it be that the 'pm' group is corrupt? If so, how can I find out if it is? I was thinking of deleting and recreating the group but it contains over 100 users and I don't want to do that unless it's absolutely necessary.

The current workaround for the user is for me to open up the directories to 777.

Thanks for any help!

What command is the user doing when "saving to a directory" ?

can he cd Folder1 ; touch ChuckNorris ? Smilie

Check the filesystem : NFS right issue ? mounted in read-only mode ?
by the way, check the right from all the parent tree as well.:

Code:
ls -ld /whatever1/whatever2/whatever3/Folder1
ls -ld /whatever1/whatever2/whatever3
ls -ld /whatever1/whatever2
ls -ld /whatever1

what gives the su - <user_having_the_pb> -c "id" command ?
