I have a _“Common”_ workspace on a AWS storage.  
I want to share _“Common/foobar”_ (in read-only) with only one external user (which would not have access to other Common/\* subdirectories.

1. I tried to create a workspace pointing to this subdirectory.
2. I tried to create a cells for this subdirectory using the contextual menu

But none of these solution worked.  
The “foobar” directory is visible to this user (on the homepage or as a cells in the left sidebar) but when trying to access it, no content appears and the browser console (and pydio.log) say:

`404 not found path is not readable`

For the admin (this cell is **also** shared with), no problem: admin can browse that cell.

Got it. The problem was I had denied the access to the parent `Common` directory to that user.
