Unable to Delete Migrated Document

Symptom

Deleting a migrated document fails with the following error -

No permission to delete some items in the page tree.

Explanation

In the new version (2.x) of Scroll Documents, when you choose to delete a document, it will also delete all the associated versions for that document. Now, in the previous version (1.x), every version of a document was stored in a separate archived space, which was created by and restricted to the scroll documents app user.

With the new version (2.x) of Scroll Documents, the delete operation runs in the current user's context. As a result, it fail to delete those 'Archived space versions' when you delete a migrated document therefore resulting in the error message.
