Error when sharing another user's channel or editing channel details (Admin panel access)

[lauradanforth]

Observed behavior

I wanted to add a new user to edit a channel created for the UN Women project, so I opened it via the Admin page. When clicking on "Share Channel" or "Edit channel details", I receive an Error page saying that I don't have permission to edit the channel.

User-facing consequences

Blocking the new UN Women implementing partner from taking over work on the channel.

@rtibbles @bjester cannot reproduce on studio.learningequality.org.

@vkWeb Could you try locally in your dev environment? The a@a.com user should be an admin user. You'll have to create another user and channel, then attempt to access that channel with a@a.com user to reproduce this. Does that reproduce the issue?

[vkWeb]

@bjester Yep, I can reproduce this locally as you said. Will look into this.

Unassigning myself as this looks like a frontend bug.

I've looked at this on unstable and I'm having trouble reproducing... I don't know if any other recent work could have fixed this?

The steps I've taken were:
sign in as user@a.com
create a channel
sign out
sign in with a@a
go to the admin panel and open user A under users
scroll down to channels and see the channel I created as user A
follow the link - channel opens with no errors and I was able to add a folder and drop in a file

Does this sound like what the expected behavior should be? And also - maybe this should be on hotfixes, not unstable? I haven't tested it there yet...

[bjester]

@marcellamaki So user a@a should be an admin, and should be able to edit the channel which you've verified. I believe the issue comes from opening the channel details as that admin user, and attempting to add an editor or viewer as the admin.
