I’m working with SharePoint 2007 and I think I’ve encountered a serious bug which I need assistance on!
Scenario: When attempting to inherit permissions from the parent site for an active directory group in my sharepoint 2007 I receive an error message and when refreshing the page/going back, the entire site was deleted! Unrecoverable STILL and Microsoft is just as stumped as we are here!!
Warning: be careful if trying to reproduce the steps below because we have been able to reproduce and it deletes everytime!
Open SharePoint and navigate to a site.
1. Click on site actions
2. Site Settings
3. Modify all site settings
4. Under Site Administration click on site libraries and lists
5. Select Customize Images
6. Select Permisions for this list
7. Select a group by placing a check mark beside it
8. Click actions and select Inherit Permissions
9. A warning window displays informing you that you will inherit permissions from parent and lose any unique permissions you have set.
10. clicking ok will error the page out. If you refresh or go “back” the entire site collection you were just on is GONE!
Has anyone see this? Can anyone offer suggestions on why clicking on “inherit permission” would completely delete a site?
