Copy the file in Desktop Integration suite always gets Public security grp.

Question

Hi,
We are trying to integrate Desktop Integration suite for the users to drop files in UCM through the windows explorer. For users to drag & drop the file, we need to assign them to contributor role(which has RW on public security group) and which is causing the file to belong to public security group which can be seen or serached by everyone which we do not want. We would like to create a private group and should be the default group for the users where they can grag the files to. How can we do this without having to give them the contributor role? the one option we tried is, to force the metadata screen which defaults to a private group, but we do not want to popup the metadata screen everytime they upload the content, but would like to create the defaults for that private group like creating a default profile.
Please throw in your suggestions and appreciate any help in this regard.
Thanks.

How can we do this without having to give them the contributor role?Do you mean a contributor role, or a role called 'Contributor' (which can contribute to Public security group)?
The former is not possible - a user that can check in a new item must have a contributor role. Note, that there can be many contributor roles - you can have a PrivateSGContributor role which has RW permissions to your "private group" and your users might be assigned this role (that's the latter option).
This is a security requirement, so forcing the metadata screen will not resolve it (there will be NO security group available - if it opens at all - and users won't be able to check in the content anyway).
In fact, if they are used to drag&drop, I'd rather assign the default security group at the folder level.
