[Using Sakai] Setting realm.update.own permission to join sections but not joinable sites

[Daniel Merino]

Hi everybody.

As far as we know, realm.update.own permission is needed for three 
different actions:

-Allowing users to join sections when they are self-joinables at Section 
Info tool.
-Managing any public access resource uploaded to Resources.
-Allowing users to join joinable sites in Membership tool.

Until now, we have checked this permission in !user.template.registered 
realm and we have disabled it in !user.template.guest, mainly because we 
did not want guest users accessing joinable sites.

However, right now we need to allow guest users to be able to join 
sections, so we have checked realm.update.own permission also for access 
role of one of our sites, hoping that this way guest users could join 
sections at the site but could not join joinable sites at Membership tool.

This is not working. Guest users have the links for joining sections in 
the site but clicking on them does nothing and no error is shown in the 
logs.

I would like to ask if somebody has found a solution for this issue.

Thanks and best regards.
