Confirmed

Hello, is it planned to fix this ? i'm not a coder but if i can help.
Shteevy.

non coder users can always help testing Pull Requests (PR).
At the moment there are more than 300 that needs tests https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pulls

All Pull Requests need at least:
1. A volunteer contributor wiling to submit a PR with code
2. Two tests by other users
3. Be merged into the core by the mantainers

In this case, we don't have 1. yet

willing to test if PR is submitted.

Hi @shteevy I've just tested this issue with the current staging branch (Joomla! 3.7.3-dev). The issue seems resolved. Please could test again if you are still experiencing the issue?

set Status on "Information Required".

Hello,

I tried with 3.7.3-dev but I still can see unauthorized categories in the Search Tools and in the batch tools.

Steve.

That's a weird one. Please could you detailed the Steps to reproduce the issue that you are applying to see unauthorized categories?
Then I will test it a third time ;-)

Hello,

Here is the procedure to reproduce the issue with J! 3.7.2

The user is in a group authorized to create, delete, modify, modify status and modify own elements for only one category called "Valves (Pédagogique Mons)".

When the user is connected to backend and using the Search Tool (Content > Article > Search Tool), all the categories are showed into the dropdown menu.

The showed categories have the access right "Registered" but the user has not the right to publish into them.
Why are they showed ?

I have the same problem into "Batch Tool"

Many thanks,

Steve

@rvbgnu could you reproduce Issue?

Sorry for the late reply.

I could reproduce the issue, but I'm not sure if it is one actually!!

Please @shteevy I need more details of your user groups structure and categories permissions: this is a use case that we must checked.

For my test, using the latest joomla-3.7.4-dev with sample data, I created a Group with Manager as parent, to grant the specific user access to the backend, he/she automatically inherits permissions for all the categories.

So with more details, we could better reproduce the same issue. You could use Advanced Permissions Report in the group view to check like this:

Hello,
Sorry for this late reply too :)

The Group used for this test is a subgroup of "Public"

I remark that the user can see the categories with a "Registered" level access.
This group don't have the right to write, modify or delete in these categories. It should not see these categories into Search Tools and Batch Tools. Am i wrong ?

Have a nice day,
