[RESOLVED] Users cannot post, You do not have enough privs

[baris]

Get the category id and then run the following query to see if registered-users group is in there.

zrange group:cid:<cid>:privileges:groups:topics:reply:members 0 -1

@baris said:

zrange group:cid:<cid>:privileges:groups:topics:reply:members 0 -1

I have verified that the registered-users group is in fact added to every category, which matches what I see in the ACP:

[email protected]:~# redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:1:privileges:groups:topics:reply:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:2:privileges:groups:topics:reply:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:3:privileges:groups:topics:reply:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:4:privileges:groups:topics:reply:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:5:privileges:groups:topics:reply:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"

What about topics:create is that set as well?

[shat]

Yes, it is set as well:

[email protected]:~# redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:1:privileges:groups:topics:create:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:2:privileges:groups:topics:create:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:3:privileges:groups:topics:create:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:4:privileges:groups:topics:create:members 0 -1
1) "administrators"
2) "registered-users"
127.0.0.1:6379> zrange group:cid:5:privileges:groups:topics:create:members 0 -1

Do registered-users see the New Topic button when they go in a category? And only get the error when they try to submit?

We hide the new topic button if they don't have privileges to post I think.

[shat]

I am logged in as a test user, which is a registered-users user and validated via email. I can see the "New Topic" button as well as the reply. I get the error when I try to post a reply and I also see it, now that I explored a bit more; when I go back (cmd left arrow on mac) to the previous page/category parent from an individual post.

Is your forum public? Post a link if you can. What git revision are you on?

[shat]

It is publicly accessible, but not public, so I will send you a message with a link to it...

[email protected]:~/nodebb$ git branch
  v0.8.x
* v0.9.x
[email protected]:~/nodebb$ git status
On branch v0.9.x
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/v0.9.x'.

nothing to commit, working directory clean

Resolved after talking to baris. I have the mailgun emailer plugin, and also had the db_search and MFA plugin. Disabled db_search and MFA and permissions are working as expected.

If you experience this, try disabling/uninstalling plugins.

[Bri]

MFA plugin I can see possibly doing that, but db search?

Care to explain what happened?

[shat]

@BDHarrington7 going to reinstall search and see if everything is working. I ended up removing all but mailgun and now going to see about enabling one by one to identify the culprit.
