Scoped App Role Grants Table Access in Classic UI (ALL Menu) but Blocks Workspace Access – How to Re

Hi

I'm working on a scoped application and have run into an access issue with roles and workspaces. Here's the setup and problem:

Background:

  • I've created a custom role specific to my scoped app (e.g., x_myapp_user).
  • I've updated the relevant ACLs (table-level read/create/write) to grant this role access to the app's tables.
  • Assigned this role to a test user.

What's Working:

  • The user can navigate to the app's tables via the ALL menu in the Classic UI.
  • They can view records and create new ones without issues.

The Problem:

  • My scoped app has a dedicated Workspace.
  • The same user with the x_myapp_user role cannot access the workspace at all – they get an "Access Denied" or are redirected/unauthorized when trying to open it.
  • This persists even though table-level ACLs seem fine.
