Environment

Release Automation - All Versions.

Cause

- We use action "Copy File(s) or Folder(s) (for legacy OS)" to copy a directory to another directory

and

- The user executing the action is not the owner of target directories.

Resolution

There are 2 possible workaround :

1- Replace actions "Copy File(s) or Folder(s) (for legacy OS)" with "Copy Files or Folders" action.

 

or if it is not possible to replace this action

2- Change the owner for following target directory with user running the action

chown newuser /opt/target/directory
