Summary12158: no users / groups show in survey permissions
Description

Hi folks,

unfortunately /admin/surveypermission does not show any selectable users or groups although the experimenter has full global permissions. Obviously the user permission attributes "Permission to create, view, update and delete users" seem to have no effect and only admins are allowed to create / view/read / update / delete users.

This problem occurs with LS version 2.63.1+170305 as well as 2.59.0. It can also be reproduced on www.limesurvey.org instances (currently 2.62.1).

A fix would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Steps To Reproduce
  • create survey "test-survey"
  • create new user "test-admin" with all global permissions
  • create additional user "test-experimenter" only with global permission to logon to the system
  • logon as "test-admin"
  • try to define any permissions for "test-experimenter" in "test-survey"
    -> user "text-experimenter" cannot be selected
TagsNo tags attached.

That is the intended behaviour. To be able to manage user permissions you have to be the owner of that user or superadmin.

thanks for that superfast reply! Actually I'm not sure if this behaviour is really the best way to handle this because I can imagine many scenarios where admins need to delegate the survey permissions' setup to a non-superadmin-user who has not created the user receiving the survey permissions.

But we'll try now to adapt our workflows correspondingly.
