Calendar Not Subject to Security Roles (SuiteCRM 7)

pstevens · 9 August 2024 14:03

I’m finding the “meetings” show on everyone’s shared calendar even when the user is in the role “sales rep” and the role “sales rep” is limited to only seeing Meetings if they are the owner.

I see some posts about this back from 2015 being a bug, but no open bug report on Github. Anyone else experience this issue or is it just me?

Maybe, it is never fixed. I think you should raise a bug on the GitHub.

Ok so I’ve thouroughly tested. This ONLY occurs in SuiteCRM 7. SuiteCRM works as expected.

Since I think the Calendar is legacy module in SuiteCRM 8, it “should” be the same as SuiteCRM 7. So maybe one file is not in sync.

I’ll open a bug and see if I can find the source of the problem.

Calendar does not respect security roles in regard to Meetings (SuiteCRM 7 Only)

Type: Bug

### Issue Calendar does not respect security roles in regard to Meetings (Suite…CRM 7 Only). I've tested both SutieCRM 7 and SuiteCRM 8 and 8 works as expected. If the user does not have access to the meeting record it does not show. However, in SuiteCRM 7 the meeting record shows regardless of the security role. ### Possible Fix ??? not sure yet, going to compare the files in 8 vs 7. ### Steps to Reproduce the Issue ```bash 1.Add a user to a security role (user A) 2.Limit the user role to see meetings "Owner" listview, and records. 3.Get another user to add a meeting (user B) 4. The first user A can see user B's meetings in the calendar, but if you try to open the meeting, you get the popup, but the meeting info fails 500. ... ``` ### Context Obviously, security roles should be respected in the shared calender view. If the installation decision is to have meetings private, and only accessible by the user, then this should be respected in the calendar view. ### Version 7.14.3 ### What browser are you currently using?
