Can't Add Groups to any particular permission in Advanced Permissions 5.6.0.2
Permalink
I can add individual Users, but not Groups, to any particular permission using the new Advanced Permissions UI in 5.6. Here's what happens:
My task is to set the View permission such that Registered Users can view, but not Guests.I open a Permissions pane on that particular page. I click the View permission. I click Add in the table under Included. I click the Select dropdown and choose Group. Nothing happens. This is the first bug. I close the Add Access Entity pane. Back in the View permission pane, I click Add+ again. I click the Select dropdown and choose Group (second try). Now I get an Add Group pane. I click on 'Registerd Users'. Nothing happens. I try other group names. Nothing. There are no Save or Cancel buttons. I close the Add Group pane. Invoke it again. Still nothing.
I don't think there is any documentation for the new Advanced Permissions UI. If there is, please guide me to it. I did find this video:http://www.concrete5.org/about/blog/concrete5-sightings/check-out-a... When the presenter clicks the Group name in his demos, the Add Group pane closes and the Group has been added to the Add Access Entity pane (at ~4:40 in the video). He clicks Save and all is right with the world.
I am new to C5. We are developing a new site. We started with 5.5 (not exactly sure which minor version). Upgraded to 5.6.0.1. Noticed the above problem. Upgraded to 5.6.0.2. Problem persists.
I'm on Win 7. I've tried IE 9, FF 15.01, and Chrome 22.x. I've cleared caches in C5 and on my browsers. It happens for the superuser login as well as my own login in an Administrator group. I can add individual Users, just not Groups. Another person on my project can replicate the problem.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? It looks like any number of people are having wonky problems with advanced permissions after upgrading. Any suggestions as to what to try? Is there any information I can provide to troubleshoot better?

I'd suggest you file a bug report...

I can't confirm this. None of the symptoms you describe happen on my system. It's working like a charm for me. I manually upgraded from 5.5 (i.e. not through the dashboard)
I can definitely confim this problem.
I am experiencing on to different sites, both running 5.6.0.2
Anyone found a solution to this problem, I would be more than happy to hear about it !

Not sure if you've found this yet but I've just looked through the bug reporter (for the first time) and found the solution was posted here...

I didn't think it was related but I implemented the change into the file they suggest and it worked for me here. Thought it might be useful to post the link to the solution here so people who find this entry in the forum an find themselves to the bug reporter fix too.

Also, after painstakingly adding a single user to various permissions on our Home page, I checked the permissions of sub-pages (which are designated to inherit permissions) and the additions I made have not propagated down.
So it seems that permissions are seriously broken. What should our next step be?
