[GeoNode-users] Problem with GeoFence permissions

[Paolo Corti]

Hi Daniel

You seem to have hit this bug which I reported to GeoFence team in the past:
https://github.com/geoserver/geofence/issues/98

I didn't notice this happening in latest GeoFence version, so
upgrading to latest GeoNode could be an option.
Or you could try to use PostgreSQL instead than H2 as a GeoFence store

hope this helps

cheers
Paolo
