[Rt-devel] ModifySelf right produces "Permission Denied"

[Ian Norton]

Hi All,

My apologies for posting this here in addition to rt-users, but I'm 
beginning to be pretty convinced that this is a bug rather than a 
configuration problem.

Can anyone else reproduce this with their setup?

Ian,

Hi all,

I've granted the ModifySelf right to System group Everyone and I'm
getting some odd behaviour.

I can change my password and all my details within the preferences page
and the database gets updated.  The problem is that it gives me a
"Permission Denied" error, even though it has succeeded.

If I grant the right explicitly to a user and remove it from Everyone,
it still gives the same problem.

I'm seeing a similar problem with personal groups, in that everyone is
granted AdminOwnPersonalGroups which they can do, but there's a
Permission Denied error - even though the edits happen.

I've enabled debugging in my RT_SiteConfig.pm but it's not showing
anything unusual:

[Mon Mar 14 14:30:54 2005] [debug]: About to think about scrips for
transaction #6335
(/usr/local/packages/rt-3.4.1/lib/RT/Transaction_Overlay.pm:154)

I'm using RT 3.4.1 on Fedora Core 3 with Postgres 7.4.7.
DBD::Pg is version 1.31
DBIx::SearchBuilder is version 1.22

The only time I don't get errors on updating users details is if I do it
with a SuperUser enabled account.

Any suggestions gratefully received as I'm not having any luck tracking
this one down :(

Thanks, Ian.
