[rt-users] Unable to delete or modify dashboards as any user including superuser

[john habermann]

I have done some more investigating comparing what I see in the 3.8.2
version to the 3.8.8 version and I find that it seems the problem is that
the actions are not changing when you select a dashboard from the list of
dashboards. In the 3.8.8 version when I view the list of Dashboards
rt/Dashboards/index.html the actions are:

Select New

In the 3.8.2 version they are:

Select Dashboard New Dashboard

In the 3.8.8 version when I click on a Dashboard the actions menu lists the
names of the Dashboards:

Home | Tags and Searches | Get Things Done

While in the 3.8.2 version when I select a Dashboard I see:

Basics Queries Subscriptions Show

The urls for when I click on the Dashboard is the same
http://servername//rt/Dashboards/49/Tags%20and%20Searches

I see that the rt3/share/html/Dashboards/index.html file has changed from
3.8.2. to 3.8.8 and I tried just using the 3.8.2 index.html version in 3.8.8
but nothing changed. I found that I can edit and delete Dashboards in the
3.8.8 version by manually entering the urls that I can see from the actions
navigation bar in the 3.8.2 version. So if I go
to rt/Dashboards/Modify.html?id=49 I am able to delete a Dashboard from the
3.8.8 version.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to whether this indicates a problem with my
database or something in the html template files?

Thank you
