In Management Reporter 2012 CU6 (2.1.6041.36), we are having issues applying permissions to groups in the report library. Staff with the Administrator role are able to add, remove, or change permissions to individual users; attempts to save permissions to groups fail. No error messages are shown, the attempt to add a group permission entry is simply not applied.
If anyone can point us in the right direction, it would be appreciated. Here is some additional history and attempts to resolve:
An earlier attempt by a user to access a file in the built in public folder generated server 'object reference not set to an instance of an object' errors. This was traced back to the Everyone role having been removed from the permissions on the folder. Granting View permissions to the Everyone group makes sense for that folder, so we are hoping someone knows what we are missing.
We also tried assigning additional permissions for the user with the Administrator role. The individual has View, Edit, Create, and Delete explicitly assigned on the folder.
Unfortunately, we do not have any information in the application error logs since it is failing silently.
