Summary10236: sharing participants for super admins
Description

super admin users can not edit other users participants without those participants being shared; should not the point of a super admin be to be able to do anything?
Working around it, here is another obstacle:
More so, while a super admin can share other users participants with other users, who can then edit them, their own user doesn't show up on the list of users to share with. IE can't share with self. So, I have to make a separate super user account to use to share all participants with my real superuser account to be able to edit them.
Also, the interface actually makes it look like the change was allowed (no permission error), it just doesn't stick when you go back into the record after.

TagsNo tags attached.

Yes .... Permission for shared participant seem really strange ....

Set "update" allow to update YOUR participant, not other (like Survey).

Hi Denis, Do you mean in the user panel, set global permissions for user? I already have every single box in there checked. Even as the main admin user I don't have permissions to update others' participants unless I first share them.
Thanks...

Yes .... this must be fixed/controlled . But logically not in code.

I'm unsure there are a difference between "upadte".

If you set , for one of your user:

  • create , and no other check. Did user can update his own participant ?

Setting up test account rights to have no rights other than "Participant Panel" > "Create"

Interesting... I also unchecked "Use internal database authentication" and now get error "Internal database authentication method is not allowed for this user"

logging back in as superadmin to add "Use internal database authentication"

logging in as test user; I only have the "default administration page" and "Manage Survey Administrators" pages now, the participant panel icon doesn't even show.

So, in other words, as superadmin you can see the list, and it looks like the update applies, but when you check back later it isn't reflected.
