add user api ignores admin true parameter in body

Wekan / Bugs · April 9, 2020 at 10:29pm

Create a board with an owner. Owner is a member with admin: true.

Add a member and as per api set action to add and isadmin to true. Added member is not an admin.

ie: that new member added does not get the icon permiiting archiving a board when you hover over the board.

If you look in mongo you see an array of the two users, under the key Members

The first item in that array is the one added to the board at board creation time as the owner and isadmin is set to true

The second member of the two element mongo array for that board is the added user and isadmin is set to false

in Both cases no comment and comment only and worker are all set as false

LMK where to look

I can figure it out if I have a few breadcrumbs :)

I think BoardAdmin is at Boards collections, and Wekan Admin is at Users collection

and with wekan/find.sh it's possible to search like ./find.sh isBoardAdmin

Paul Verdone@pvcon13

I do not see boardadmin in boards collections

looking at all the records for boards

YET

the owner does have that abaility

Lauri Ojansivu@xet7

Team

well, probably I then remember wrong

Paul Verdone@pvcon13

not saying thta , I just do not see that magical attribute

Lauri Ojansivu@xet7

Team

anyway, I did test role API, and it did not set normal user to BoardAdmin

so there is something broken

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/REST-API-Role

So I'll look at wekan/models/boards.js

Paul Verdone@pvcon13

so question

If I create a board admin attribute

its would be a string or an array (multiple board admins)

its would be a standard key at the top level

OR it would be an attribute per member like isAdmin

I did not see any of this in the api doc nor in the mongo collections, so if you tell me where it goes, I am good. Whether the tools work or not is not an issue as long as I know the mongo format and if its populated correctly the GUI does what it is suppose to do

thanks

Hello good Morning. Just a quick one. I do not need you to fix wekan code. At the moment I just need to know when I have to set boardadmin in mongo to enable a particular user to be able to see the icons that archive and eventually permit you to delete a board. I cannot find that key anywhere in the mongo collections I have looked but obviously the owner has something set somewhere. If you can point me to that collection I can make the change without you recoding at this time. If board admin is not the correct key, I understand. If the wekan GUI drivers are ignoring mongos correct key values, I understand. But if some attribute just needs to be set in a mongo collection, that is easy for me to do. THanks as always :)

I did find under users collection that the second users does not have an isAdmin key at all

will try that next I guess

ok more info. I added the the second user an isAdmin key in collection users. The appranet owner had this key and this additional member did not, I set the value to the key to be true
