Steps to reproduce the issue

It´s not easy to reproduce the issue as it happens on different sites, different environments and different articles. Sometimes when i click on a title of an Article (I´m Super Admin) the error message appears that the direct access is not allowed.

So at first sight there seems to be an permission issue, but not. Because if i click the checkbox in front of the Article and click on the Edit button the article opens as expected.

I think @rdeutz you also spoke about this issue before?

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla 3.6.4

It is "race" condition, between 2 or more updates of the session data

So at first sight there seems to be an permission issue, but not.

Exactly it is not, the ACL permission is calculated correctly, but the calculation is lost by another operation that tries to save the array with the editable article IDs (or tries to save other session data)

An easy way to reproduce this,

  • is to go to articles manager and quickly middle click (=open in new TAB) on about 20 article edit links, and you will see that several of them will fail

There has been many reports about this, and has been discussed very extensively,
it is minor,
only becomes a big problem when it is persistent due to a website trying to utilize browser caching for all urls
