      Description

      After investigating this LPP-12502, we found the most likely cause was not Social Office, but most likely LPS-46842; probably because Social Office activities pulls up documents that a user doesn't have access to see.

      However, it turns out the issue wasn't LPS-46842 since the fixes for it didn't resolve the Activity Set error. I'm guessing that Social Office needs to be fixed.

      Steps to Reproduce
      1. Create a new Social Office Site
      2. Create a user and give him Social Office access.
      3. Make him a member of the Site that you created in Step 1.
      4. Put a "Documents and Media" portlet on to a page.
      2. Add a new folder without guest permissions. What I mean is in that "Viewable" dropdown, make sure Owner is selected. If you choose Guest, then you will no longer be able to reproduce the issue, even if you manually remove Guest permission - weird I know!
      5. Add a document in the folder, but leave the "Viewable" as Guest, which is the default.
      6. Login as the other user and go to his Social Office Dashboard page.
      You'll see Activity Set stacktrace, same as what was attached in the beginning. If you change the folder permissions and give the User appropriate permissions, then the error doesn't occur anymore.
