Users unable to rename files/folders with edit permissions?

Iron Contributor

We have a site where we would like users to have full edit access apart from being able to delete files and folders. I have configured the default permission level for 'Edit' and simply unticked the 'Delete' option, which has worked fine.

 

However, users report that they do not have a rename button when they select a file or folder, and if they attempt to change the document name using the properties pane they get a permissions denied error.

 

Is there any way to enable this?

 

Thanks

Have you tried contribute level access and remove delete from that? Contribute has a bit more access than just edit.

I'd like to try the contribute permission level, although the site seems to prevent access to the user when it's assigned to them.

 

I have created a new permission group and assigned 'contribute' as its permission level. When I add users to it, they simply get the following message.

Don't suppose you might know why this happens? Have tried it on several accounts with no luck!

Interesting. Contribute access should allow access.
