After upgrade 3.1.4- The current role does not have access to this operation

Software Support
#1

After upgrade to OJS 3.1.4 weve a problem with Site Admin role. Our previous account admin cant:

  • uploade Site logo
  • uploade Site style sheet
  • modify users accounts

We ve note: The current role does not have access to this operation

I checked the permissions in the database – everything is ok:

user_group_id=1

What could have caused this

The current role doesn’y have access to this operation
The current role does not have access to this operation trying to upload Site Logo
OJS Journal is having an issue with uploading documents

Hi @karwas,

Does the Administrator also have the Journal Manager role? Only a Journal Manager can make the changes you noted above. I’m not sure which version you upgraded from, but user roles and permissions in OJS 3 vary a bit from OJS 2.

Hi

Try adding the following to /lib/pkp/controllers/tab/settings/AdminSettingsTabHandler.inc.php (line 37)
$this->addRoleAssignment(ROLE_ID_SITE_ADMIN,
array(
‘showFileUploadForm’,
‘uploadFile’,
‘saveFile’,
‘deleteFile’,
‘fetchFile’
)
);

Hi all,

@haroldg’s suggested fix is equivalent (but different) to the fix that has already been merged in for the next release. That fix is pkp/pkp-lib#4024 Allow admins to upload files in the admin settings tabs · pkp/pkp-lib@9e35b17 · GitHub.
