Group Administrator is unable to remove Group members
I am just trying to confirm whether or not this is intended behaviour:
A user (administrator, but not owner of the group) was unable to remove a certain group member.
The owner of the group was able to remove the member and the group in question is a private group.
This seems a little strange, since administrators are able to confirm new users in the group.
The error being returned was "Dieser Bereich wird nur unseren Mitgliedern angezeigt. Bitte einloggen!", loosely translated "This section is only available to members. Please log in."
Seems you have misconfiguration on ACL Joomla user, Would you mind provide me backend and FTP access, please? send it via Message to Community page, use same subject with this topic.
Thank you for your quick reply.
However, I was a little surprised to see you setting the joomla ACLs for the registered user group to none.
Let me reiterate our problem:
Removing a group member by a registered user that has been granted administrator privileges for that group is not possible.
A little research on our side found that the problem lies in the following function: public function ajaxRemoveMember($memberId, $groupId).
There, the following piece of code is being called:
(!$my->authorise('community.remove', 'groups.member.' . $memberId, $group)) {
We suspect that this call returns false since the regular "registered" users have the ACL community.remove set to "none". This setting is necessary to prevent arbitrary users removing other users from random groups.
However, a group administrator should get that privilege for all groups that he administrates.
I hope I was able to help you in narrowing down this problem's cause.
Merry Christmas!
