Permissions 403 / White Overlay problem

Permalink
So I've got a site that works fine when logged in as admin. However, I've set up a new user group with permissions for only a couple types of pages.

If I login as that new user, when I go to the pages that they area supposed to be able to edit, the page has a semi transparent white overlay and nothing is clickable.

The weird thing is, the permissions seem to have worked, as if I go into Chrome debugger/developer tools and set <div class="ui-widget-overlay" style=""></div> to display:none; the editor bar appears at the top and everything appears as it should.

I'm getting this error in the console:
GEThttp://MYSITE/index.php/dashboard/home?_ccm_dashboard_external=1... 403 (Forbidden)jquery.js:4
m.ajaxTransport.sendjquery.js:4
m.extend.ajaxjquery.js:4
m.fn.loadapp.js:3
ccm_showNewsflowOverlayWindowapp.js:3 ccm_showDashboardNewsflowWelcomeplanet:855
(anonymous function)jquery.js:2
m.Callbacks.jjquery.js:2
m.Callbacks.k.fireWithjquery.js:2
m.extend.readyjquery.js:2 J

I'm really quite stuck with this, and it can't go out the the client like this as they want to be able to easily add new users to this group.

Using 5.7.3.1

This doesn't really solve the issue with the permissions, but you can turn the news overlay off for the site by adding this to your application/config/app.php

'external' => array(
        'intelligent_search_help' => true,
        'news_overlay'  => false,
        'news' => false,
)

That doesn't seem to have disabled the overlay, my application/config/app.php looks like this now but I still have this overlay when logged in as a new user.
return array(
'external' => array(
        'intelligent_search_help' => true,
        'news_overlay'  => false,
        'news' => false,
)
);

Thanks for the response though

If you login with the admin, clear the cache and logout, then log back in with any user, is the overlay still there?

I tried this on my local install and it didn't work until I logged out completely and started a new browser session, but it did work after that.

Unfortunately that still doesn't help, I've tried clearing the cache and opening it in a new browser session. I've tried clearing the cache and opening it in a different browser altogether!

I am properly puzzled with this, I bet it will end up being something silly though. I'm hoping eventually someone will have had a similar experience.

If you go into the /concrete/config/concrete.php file and change the news_overlay and news settings around line 360 does that stop them from coming up for you?

Oh nice that seems to have fixed it. I'm still getting page not founded errors when I try and add a new page but that's another story for another thread.

Only issue is if I update concrete now I'm going to have to remember to change the concrete.php file

Still, thank you very much!
