Re-sharing a notebook - bug or am I missing something

[peng1can]

Our office is just starting to experiment with the shared notebooks, and one of the first times we used it, we encountered a problem which seems like a bug to me...

- Our administrative assistant created a notebook, clicked "share notebook", added a bunch of people from our department, and clicked OK. Invitation emails went out as they should.
- She quickly discovered that she had only granted Viewer permission, so she repeated the process but this time set everyone to be a manager. Invitation emails went out a second time.
- Users who accepted the second email work fine. Users who accepted the first email are stuck with view-only access. If they try to accept the second invitation, they're told the folder already exists.
- The admin who shared the notebook can't upgrade the permissions for those users because to her they appear to already have Manager rights.

The solution for now was to have the users that accepted the first invitation delete the notebook then accept the second invitation. Nonetheless, this seems like a bug if the owner and the recipient see a different set of permissions for the recipient.

Is there anything I'm missing or should this be opened as a bug?

Instead of upgrading the share, the admin should probably delete the share and recreate it.

Are the users then linking the shared notebook to their notebook?

There are a handful of ways to work around this, but I still think it's probably a bug if the owner sees one set of permission and the user sees another, yes? Just wanted to be sure I didn't misunderstand how something fundamentally worked.
