Registration for notifications on changes does not work

Help / Discuss
#1

hi there!

We experience the following problem in XWiki 11.10.4 and highly appreciate any hint on where to look first (thx in advance):

I am not able to configure notifications for a normal user in its user profile. I get an error message indicating that it failed to save the changes (not more).

Also:

If I click on the bell in the title bar to configure notifications I get an exception:

There is a lengthy trace which does not enlighten me but probably you:

#2

This looks like https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-17996 (fixed in 11.10.11).

#3

Hi there!

Your tip really improved the situation! :slight_smile:

We upgrade to 12.10.7 and the bell-symbol in the upper right does work now…

However, if I want to manage notification settings in my user profile, I still get an error message indicating the new setting could not be safed. This happens if I try to change settings for:

  • automatic registration for pages (if created, if changed…)
  • the applications which can send notification or email

Any hints on this?

Kind regards,
Holger

#4

Hard to suggest anything without the actual complete error you are getting.

#5

It’s just a litte red bar at the bottom of the screen saying something like “Failed to save settings” (in german) and fades out after a few seconds…
I can look for a log if give me a hint…

#6

Well the hint would be to look at what you get in the log right when this error is displayed in the UI.

#7

Hi Thomas
This may sound odd to you but I have no access to the XWiki-Server. I depend on the admin who is looking after the wiki every other week…
Things may go faster if I could tell him where to look for the log file…
:slight_smile:

#8

I don’t know exactly which error you will get, but the log contains the date and time, so you could tell him when exactly you tried to do something that produced an error.

#9

Sorry, Thomas. My question was: Where is the log-file or any other kind of list with error messages you are referring to?

#10

Ha ok, it depends a lot on your setup actually. There are some helpers on Logging (XWiki.org).

#11

Hi Thomas
There are entries like the following in tomcat-stdout.log:
2021-06-09 17:38:57,722 [http-nio-8080-exec-7 - http://bruce-wayne:8080/xwiki/bin/get/XWiki/Notifications/Code/NotificationPreferenceService?outputSyntax=plain] INFO a.i.BridgeAuthorizationManager - [edit] access has been denied for user [xwiki:XWiki.Holger] on [xwiki:XWiki.Holger]: security checkpoint

Seems to be a problem with access rights of a user login. If I try the same as wiki-Admin, everything is fine…

#12

This error seems to suggest that user Holger does not have edit right on its own profile, is that accurate ? For example, can this user modify personal information or preferences ?

#13

Yes, this assumption seems to be correct…
The only things I can change without error are two settings for notifications: frequency of notifications and depth of details… I am wondering whether this could be true anyway…
All other settings are either not available or are causing an error.
I also tried to change my password and got an error indicating a problem with edit rights:

#14

OK so that’s indeed why, the notification feature assume the user can write on its own profile since that’s where its notification configuration is stored.

Note that this suggest this user was not created in a standard way since in standard the user is set as creator of its own profile (which gives it all power on it) and it also has explicit EDIT right set for the profile (so that other users, except admins, don’t by default).

#15

Hi Thomas
Users in this Wiki have not been created any other way than standard. I dont understand how we could have done it in any non-standard way…
So, how could this being fixed?
Kind regards
Holger

#16

A very common way is using some custom authenticator since those are often in charge of creating the user on XWiki side.

#17

I am not sure what you mean. Normally users are doing the registration and simply have a user created for them. We did not change anything with XWiki or some authenticator…

Anyway, is there are way to fix this problem? How could the user get its right to edit its settings?

#18

As I said in a standard XWiki this situation does not make much sense, so to really fix for new users we would need to understand why it is like this.

Fixing it for existing users is not very hard in theory, as I mentioned in a previous post you can simply give each user EDIT right on its own profile page (which is what the standard is supposed to be already). If it’s already the case then maybe it’s caused by some right setup you change at XWiki page level or at wiki level.

#19

Ok, at least one other existing user is able to change its user settings for notifications. Which indicates the problem with missing EDIT rights is user specific.
I logged in as Wiki-Admin and searched the settings for any possibility to change the rights for the problematic user but did not find anything appropriate.

I just tried and registered a new user. Everything seems to be fine with this one. I could simply deactivate the problematic user and create a new one as a successor. This will not uncover the reason for this problem but will help immediately.

If you still like, could you just clarify how to set those EDIT rights for specific users? I failed to spot any setting for this.

#20

You need to be an “Advanced” user to get a little arrow next to the “Edit” button with among other things “Access Rights”, you can set that as a preference in your profile.
