"access denied" when trying to view a profile on gdo

Yes, this seems to be an issue since the ugprade that users cannot view the profiles in spite of the permission to "access user profiles" being granted to authenticated and anonymous.

is this for everyone? it is for me.

just wondering if someone is working on it... or... if this is a temporary situation?

It's for everyone. I'm not sure where the problem lies but I see it as lower priority than fixing the single sign on for people so I haven't looked into it.

for what it's worth, a workaround is to use the person's contact tab on drupal.org

I have the same issue, seems to be if you want to see old accounts, but I can see new ones I think.

I get "Access denied" on other users on groups.drupal.org but not on other users on drupal.org.

I also get "Access denied" when I try to view my own contact form.

(But it's not the account sync issue, that has already been fixed.)

Problem persists, very annoying.

I can access other users' contact form but not my own.

Has "Rebuild permissions" been tried yet?

I can access the profiles of new users of my groups but not of existing users, e.g.:

http://groups.drupal.org/user/50300 does work
http://groups.drupal.org/user/14393 doesn't

Making this a "bug report"

I can report that the observation made from Frank Ralf is also valid for me (I have not created any groups, nor I am member of any groups).

Yes, and it works for anonymous too. That is certainly helpful. I had some theories about why this might be but they turned up false. Specifically, both users are "active" accounts on the site (i.e. not blocked) and while the "migrated" flag is set to True for the user 14393, it is not set for 50300 and, more importantly on that point, the migrated flag is only in the database and not in the code anywhere.

Just to help pinpoint the time frame:

http://groups.drupal.org/user/44775 does also work for me (Member for 2 weeks 1 day)

Any update on this issue? I joined the JavaScript UG yesterday and cannot access any member profile.

The issue was that the {users_access} table was not initialized. All existing users had no entry in it and the session handlers only do UPDATE queries on that table. Unfortunately, this value is used in user_view_access(), which control the access to the user profile page.

I ran the following query on the live database to prepopulate this table:

INSERT INTO users_access (uid, access) SELECT uid,access FROM users WHERE uid NOT IN (SELECT uid FROM users_access);

The main issue is now fixed.

Thanks a lot!

I still get Access denied when I try to view my own contact form. But that's maybe another issue (or by design)?

@AdrianB: that's a general Drupal core issue. See #345541: Link to contact form in user account and e-mails leads to 403..

I am able to see my contact form on g.d.o.

This message is really irritating..:( Any solutions to ?? Please help out..!!

It seems mine is also dying.

Tried a few times, no avail :(

Hi! I'm have same problems as above. https://www.drupal.org/u/karmazzin - "access denied". Can anyone help me?

karmazzin, this issue has been closed for 2 years, and is specific to profiles on groups.drupal.org, so I suggest you open a new issue in the webmasters queue.

sreynen, problem already solved, thank you! I'm a real necroposter, hah. Sorry, I was a bit confused by the interface.
