❌ Final test before merge with JBT

  • Installed Blog Sample Data, Created manager, editor, to-be-deleted users, Created 3 contacts with linked users, created articles as users manager, editor, to-be-deleted, deleted the to-be-deleted user entry
  • Seen 403 before in articles view and contacts and with user component permissions Edit Denied
  • Applied PR with Patch Tester
  • ✅ Articles/Contacts as Super User all Authors/Linked User entries are still linked names and the links are working
  • ✅ '[ None ]' is still displayed for deleted user entry
  • ✅ Articles/Contacts as manager other Authors/Linked User entries are only names and no more links
  • ❌ Articles/Contacts as manager: The user's own entry is no longer linked; previously, the user's own entry was linked and opening the user entry worked in Articles/Contacts
  • Changed user component permissions Edit Denied
    • ✅ Articles/Contacts as manager all Authors/Linked User entries are only names and no more linked

@heelc29 Thank you for your contribution. In final testing I found with user component permissions edit enables, the user's own entry is no longer linked. Before the PR, the user's own entry was linked and opening the user entry worked in Articles and Contacts. Could you please check?
