Problem CiviEvent menu visibility / permissions
July 01, 2010, 04:40:12 am
Hi there,

There seems to be a mismatch between the CiviCRM menu visibility and actual permissions when it comes to event management.

# New Event
# Manage Events
# Event Templates
# New Price Set
# Manage Price Set

The above options require Administer CiviCRM and Access CiviEvent to be visible in the menu, but you can actually access them with the URL even if you don't have Administer CiviCRM permissions.

I'm happy to submit a patch to fix this (please can you remind me how to work out which version to sumbit the patch against?) once we have worked out what the correct permissions should be.  Where is it I go in the code to find out what the actual permission to access this page is?

You don't need to hack the code. You can change the permission via UI.

The edit each menu, for eg: http://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/admin/menu?action=update&reset=1&id=49

i know dude! i sorted this on the local site, but there is still a bug that i want to fix for you.  people with the permission to manage events can't see that in their menu because the menu permissions are set wrong

Ya, sorry I misread your post, I think we have done some work to fix permission in 3.2, but not sure.
