Summary14017: CPDB - view permission - user
Description

Text: Permission to create participants in the central participants database (for which all permissions are automatically given) and '''view''', update and delete participants from other users.

I wanted to offer to one my friends access to the CPDB. I granted him all the permissions that correspond to CPDB. However, he was still not able to see the participants from the CPDB. Also tested this functionaliy -> is it a bug?

Was this always the case? If yes, the text misleading because it says that you can "view... participants from other users".

Of course, he can see the CPDB participants if he gets the superadmin permission.

P.s. Offering him the view permission for label sets and surveys works fine. Seems that this issue exists only with CPDB.

I can confirm this issue using 3.14.9+180917.

As an admin user I can call the CPDB screen just fine but a user with view/edit/update rights gets an error message, see screenshot.

PS : the CPDB Permission have strange rights since start … if i remind only shared user are shown to other user, and then only CRUD Permission is apply

Maybe some user think it's an issue if it's update.

I really think it's a bad permission system Survey permission are really better BUT … update can broke some system (when i update Survey global permission : this permission was never used …)

CPDB only lists participants in following cases:

  • user1 is survey owner AND he uses "Add participants to central database " function to add it to CPDB, user1 can see his own participants
  • user1 is survey owner AND he uses "Share this participant" function to share it to user2, user2 would be able to see shared participants

Behaviour of latest LS version 3.15.1 regarding CPDB functionality is exactly the same as in LS version 2.73.0.

@c_schmitz, shall we leave it as it is (see @dominikvitt's comment)? If yes, I consider that the text from user permissions related to CPDB should be changed from:

" Permission to create participants in the central participants database (for which all permissions are automatically given) and view, update and delete participants from other users "

to

"Permission to create participants in the central participants database (for which all permissions are automatically given) and view, update, and delete participants shared by other users" ?

Or shall we change the way in which the CPDB permissions work? Once a user gets view/read CPDB rights, he/she can see (and edit if other rights are given) participants that are not shared by other users.

Hey @markusfluer. This is the default behaviour in CPDB
