Project admin panel not shown with PROJECT_ADMIN permission

[massimo.b@…]

Hi, I'm new to the management of permissions. I see there is a special permission for the projects, so I created a test_user and granted PROJECT_ADMIN.

But this user still can not set any project as the Admin section is not available. I was expecting that granting a single Admin permission like PROJECT_ADMIN would offer the Admin section with that item only, no?

maybe it's a bug (?) ... I'm not sure ... please do a test and additionally give PROJECT_SETTINGS_VIEW and report back

[massimo.b@…]

I see. Adding PROJECT_SETTINGS_VIEW makes it working. Cosmetical but PROJECT_ADMIN should include that. Thanks.

[falkb]

You are right, I should fix it. Thanks for reporting! I think I wont break permissions set by users who have been using this plugin for longer, already.

Should be an easy fix by providing the proper meta permission.

In 14967:

• Change permissions so PROJECT_ADMIN includes PROJECT_SETTINGS_VIEW permission.
• Made project admin panel read only for PROJECT_SETTINGS_VIEW permission. No links, buttons and Add project.

Fixes #12179.
