Feature Request
Problem
Currently, an admin can become the owner of a folder by moving it to the root directory. This creates a risk of unintended ownership transfer, where the original owner loses control over their resource.
Solution
- Ownership-based "My Files" view:
The "My Files" section should display only the files and folders where the user is the owner, not just the creator.
- Refine folder movement restriction:
- Owners: Can move folders without restrictions.
- Admins: Can move a folder within the same tree, ensuring all current owners remain owners of the folder at the new location.
- Preserve rights during root movement for admins:
When an admin moves a folder to the root directory, the system should convert their effective permissions into explicit permissions. The original owners retain ownership, and the admin who moved the folder will see it under "Shared with me" instead of "My files"
Discovery, Documentation, Adoption, Migration Strategy
- UI Changes: add tooltips or warning pop-up when an admin attempts to move a folder.
- User Guidance: update the documentation to clarify the new rules for moving folders, emphasizing ownership preservation and restrictions for admins.
