"Access denied" when uploading a file ready for publication, which is detected as a possible duplication

When I try to upload a file ready for publication, which is detected as a possible dublication, choose the option “this is not a revision of an existing file” and click on “continue”, the message “Access denied.” pops up. When I click on “ok” the message disappears, but I cannot continue and have to close the upload-window.

access_denied

There are no messages in the error log.

My application version: OJS 3.2.1-2, PHP 7.4.

Hi @zieglcar,

Can you check your “roles” settings to see if the role that you’re operating under has access to this part of the workflow: if that might the issue; Users and Roles (this link is for OJS 3.2 documentation, which we’re in the process of updating for 3.3, but I don’t think there’s been a lot of changes to these settings for 3.3).

Hi @rcgillis,

sorry, I was mistaken, I’m actually using version 3.2.1-2 for this journal.

I was operating with admin-account, which should usually have access to this part of the workflow.
