    Joomla Permissions Bug with Gantry

    Posted 8 years 8 months ago
    • I am using Joomla's ACL to allow the Joomla built-in Manager group to edit Joomla modules. Everything works well until a Manager attempts to open a module that uses a Gantry Particle. The Edit Particle button is supposed to open a popup, but the popup never expands and no particle content appears. See attached. This has been confirmed in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

      I am able to temporarily work around this by setting the "Gantry 5 Themes" permission to allow "Access Administration Interface" for the Manager group. But this has the very much undesireable permission of allowing the Manager group to also access the Gantry 5 themes. For my project, the Manager should not have access to the "Gantry 5 Themes" admin interface.

      Is there a simple way to resolve this bug that allows the Manager group to edit Particle within the Module Manager without allowing them access to the Gantry 5 Themes interface?

    • Thanks!

      Do you know when I could expect that issue to be resolved? Is there a work around I can do to keep the users from accessing the Gantry 5 Themes screen?

    • Hi There,

      I am just wondering if you have any idea when we can expect this to be fixed - I have been monitoring for around 1 month and notice the on Github it has been listed as a bug however over the month I have also noticed it being bumped to 5.3.5 and now 5.3.6

      I am waiting to deliver user credentials to a group using the site with limited permissions and have been delaying this process but I'm now running out of reasons not to get their login credentials across and was wondering if you have any idea of how long these bugs would normally take to resolve (I know this is completely relative but I'm unsure if I'm likely to wait another week, or another year and if I had an idea I could try to work with it)

      Thanks for your time,

    • Sorry - just to add I don't have a Github account so have only been following the public updates (not sure if I'm missing anything as a result)

      Thanks again

    • The bug still exists, even after updating to the latest release of Gantry (5.3.6), although the issue is listed as fixed.

      If a user is denied Access Administration Interface rights in Components > Gantry 5 Themes > Platform Settings > Permissions, the user can edit the text in a Gantry particle, but not the content items, image or icon fields.

      The issue has been marked as closed ( https://github.com/gantry/gantry5/issues/1476 ) but I and one other user have made comments about it still being an outstanding bug. Will that re-open the issue, or do I need to submit another/new issue?
