ACTUAL BEHAVIOR

Folder ACLs are not populated when propagating folder permission in WebCenter Portal.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

Expect folder ACLs to be pre-populated with the current folder permissions when propagating folder permissions.

STEPS

The issue can be reproduced with the following steps: 

1. Create a Portal and give View grants to some users as follows:
   e.g.:
    
   Portal: PortalDocPermissions
    
   Grants to users:
      UserA - Viewer
      UserB - Viewer
      UserC - Viewer
      UserD - Viewer
    
   Grants to Groups:
      Group1 - Viewer
     
2. Create a folder in the portal.
   e.g. ParentFolder.
    
3. Set custom permissions in the ParentFolder as follows:
    
   User Access List: 
      UserA - R
      UserB - R
    
   Group Access List:
      Group1 - R
    
4. Test Propagate permissions from the ParentFolder from WebCenter Portal.
   Note the User Access List is empty.
