REPORT module required to use "Add Subject to Group" field in the Web Administration: Permissions section

[james.guyton]

REPORT_ADMIN priveledge is required in order to use this field. If the report module is disabled, you will be unable to add a subject to a group, regardless of permissions. The "Grant Permission" field works normally in both situations.

seen in r6226

Workaround is to enable reports, add what you need, disable reports.

I am unable to replicate this. What is the actual error you see?

The following may also be useful: What are your existing permissions? What third-party plugins do you have (try disabling them and see if the behaviour persists)?

[james.guyton]

Error: Forbidden

REPORT_ADMIN privileges are required to perform this operation

Permissions are: TRAC_ADMIN PERMISSION_ADMIN

No third party plugins are enabled.

ReportModule trac.ticket.report

is not selected.

I can try to turn logging on and access the log to see if a specific error is generated.

Can't reproduce this either… what were the exact values of subject/group?

Does it also happen with latest trunk?

Ah, btw, you have uninstalled/disabled the WebAdmin plugin, right?

Note that even with the 0.10 WebAdmin plugin, I was not able to reproduce the issue.

I cannot reproduce this either - it 'worksforme'. Please reopen if new information shows otherwise.
