User unable to create M2M entries

[Kamal17]

Hi All,

I'm facing an issue where a user is unable to add entries on clicking 'Edit' button in outages ('task_outage') related list available in incident form. I have created ACLs to allow the user to read/create/write/delete records in task_outage table.

I enabled session debugging 'Enable All' and found the message " User is not authorized to create new M2M entries for table task_outage" in the debug logs. If anyone has faced similar issue, please suggest resolution steps.

Thanks,

Udhay

Hi Udhay,

Make sure that the ACL at the table level is also granted. The name of that ACL will be the same as the table name, task_outage on this case and it needs to be a write acl. After that make sure the user has write access in the respective fields. You can always check the write ACL task_outage.*. Just be aware that individual ACLs may overwrite that ACL so you need to make sure those are properly designed/written so that your user has access.

Thanks,

Berny

Hi Berny,

I have created ACLs on 'task_outage' table for Create/Read/Write/Delete. Please refer the below ACL script.

answer = validate();

function validate(){

var result = false;

if(gs.hasRole('role1') || gs.hasRole('role2')){

result = true;

}

else{

var groupName = parent.assignment_group.name;

var groupName1 = current.task.assignment_group.name;

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(groupName) || gs.getUser().isMemberOf(groupName1)){

result = true;

}

}

return result;

}

When the logged in user has 'role1'/'role2', 'Edit' button is visible in the 'outages' (task_outage) related list of the incident form and he/she is able to add/remove outages. But when the logged in user is member of incident's assignment group then, he/she is able to add/remove entries in the slushbucket. But the changes are not saved. i.e if the user is able to add an outage in the slushbucket by clicking on '>' icon but it is not saved.

On debugging i found the message " User is not authorized to create new M2M entries for table task_outage"   and also script part of the 'Create' ACL failed.

Thanks,

In the error logs i saw the message 'parent is not defined', so I made a little modification to my code and issue got solved

answer = validate();

function validate(){

if(gs.hasRole('role1') || gs.hasRole('role2')){

return true;

}

else{

var groupName1 = current.task.assignment_group.name;

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(groupName1)){

return true;

}

else{

var groupName = parent.assignment_group.name;

if(gs.getUser().isMemberOf(groupName))

return true;
