Anonymous guests are read-only after selecting read-write on join

Open 10p-freddo opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

I've noticed two inconsistencies with regard to anonymous (unauthenticated) guests:

  1. The docs say unauthenticated guests may only have read-only access, but I'm able to grant them write access after initially giving them read-only access.
  2. Initially selecting the option to grant read-write access when they request to join: this appears to only grant read-only access.

Version: 1.0.5864

It is possible to give write access after initially giving read-only access. For 2, can you confirm the clients used to reproduce this? So far we've been unable to reproduce.

Selecting read-write access via the initial join notification results in "Joined (Read-Only)" in the guest's status bar, and all shared files are read-only. Right-clicking on the guest and selecting "Make Read/Write" actually grants read/write access.
