Cannot edit node after editing with root

By jrstmartin on 19 Feb 2007 at 07:10 UTC

This one is really kicking my butt and I'm hoping it's something easy that I'm just overlooking.

I create a node with user "Joe" (normal authenticated user) and submit it. Then later on when I'm logged in as user "root" (user #1) I edit Joe's node and submit it. Then when I'm logged in as Joe again and I try to "edit" the node I cannot, it's not possible, the "edit" tab is gone and I'm denied access to editing that node since it was last submitted with root.

When I go back a second time with root and look at the "Authoring information" section, it says that Joe is the author. But I still can't edit the node with Joe!

I checked some of the database tables too and everything seems ok. The node is assigned to Joe's user number. The last revision of that node is assigned to root, but when I changed that to Joe's user number, it makes no difference.

If I remember correctly, Drupal doesn't normally operated this way, right? I mean, users should be able to "edit own node" if they had authored it, regardless of who edited it last. My permissions seem correct.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Access Filters may play a role

jrc commented 20 February 2007 at 20:50

I had the same problem today. It had to do with me editing the content using a filters to which another role did not have access. That is, I edited the node using Full HTML, while my editor did not have access to use Full HTML. Go to admin->input formats and click on the format in question (here, Full HTML). Check off the roles that need access to that input format. This interface should be rethought...
