Folder Add Command Fails With Permission Problems (6382198)

When a user tries to create a folder by using the fdb.f.add command, folder creation fails despite the parents argument being set to true.

Setting -parents true, only creates the new folder and its immediate parent. The following example fails because folder f1 does not exist.

r_cli -cmd fdb.f.add  -parents true -fullname /group1/f1/f2/f3 -u user1 -p user1

The following error message is displayed:

Unable to save folder /group1/f1/f2/ due to permissions problem. (013011) access denied (com.raplix.rolloutexpress.systemmodel.userdb.FolderPermission folder:129159219047-1139319070874-31478-1381549121 write)

This happens when a user does not have administrator rights, but is a member of the group that owns the folder.

Workaround: When using the -parents true option, do not require the command to create more than the new folder and its immediate parent.
