Hide "show content of folder" - permission in reports

First off we use the german ARM version so all namings are translated by me and therefore it may be called different in the EN version.

Now to the feature:

For Dataowners it would make the reports i.E. "who has access where" much more readable if the permission "show content of folder" would not show up in the report.

For example if a Permission on Level 5 is present which differs from the "partent-folder" on level 1 the report now shows the permissions "show content of folder" for level 1, 2, 3 and 4 and the actual read or read&execute permission on level 5.

The Dataowner do not care if the user need the permission "show content of folder" on level 1-4. He just want to know who read or write on which folders. This problem can get a Report unreadable very fast if just one list-group is pretty big (> 20 users).

We currently use this settings:

Hello Timo, there is a server config switch which enables to disable the list view ;-). <reports.parameter.isVisible.SuppressListDirectory type="System.Boolean">true</reports.parameter.isVisible.SuppressListDirectory> Just put this in your pnserver.config.xml

Hello,

wow this was a quick reply Thank you!
Unfortunately this does not solve my problem i just testet it (after alterting the pnserver.config.xml, restarting the server and checking the box in the Report config)

Altough the permission "show content of folder" does not appear in the report anymore, the read and read & execute permissions of level 1-4 folders are shown nontheless. (example from above)

Maybe i have to clarify a bit more:

With Levels i mean Deapth in the Filesystem (Level 2 is Subfolder of level 1, etc.)

Level 1 Folder # Permissions: Person A,B and C | Read/Write | Inheritance Enabled

Level 5 Subfolder # Permissions: Person D / A,B and C inherited | Read/Write

For this to work the ACE needs the List-permission on Folder Level 1-4, easy.

But the ARM Report no show me something like this:

Level 1 Folder # Permissions: Person A,B and C | Read/Write

Level 2 Folder # Permissions: Person A,B and C | Read/Write

Level 3 Folder # Permissions: Person A,B and C | Read/Write

Level 4 Folder # Permissions: Person A,B and C | Read/Write

Level 5 Folder # Permissions: Person A,B,C and D | Read/Write

Out of a Dataowner perspective it is not clear why the Folders on Level 2,3 and 4 are shown because there are no differing permissions from the Parent Folder 1.
Therefore the Report should only shown Permissions for Folder Level 1 and 5
