Hi all,

we have experienced the same problem with permissions in data-approval
screen. We have two users: one has all the authorities except ALL; the
other has all the authorities, including ALL. Both users are assigned
to the same data capture and data analysis org units, both are
assigned all datasets, and both should be able to approve data. But
what actually happens is that only user with ALL authority can see the
"Ready for approval" message.

Browsing the code, we got the part that seems to control the behaviour
of that message (line 404 in
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~dhis2-devs-core/dhis2/trunk/view/head:/dhis-2/dhis-services/dhis-service-core/src/main/java/org/hisp/dhis/dataapproval/hibernate/HibernateDataApprovalStore.java).
In particular, in line 424 there is a condition that is skipped for
SuperUsers and that evaluates to false for non-SuperUsers.

The condition seems to evaluate if the user has permission to read the
dataelementcategoryoption associated to the dataset (in our case,
"default"). As "default" publicaccess is "------", the evaluation
returns false. We tried changing the "default" publicaccess value from
"------" to "rw----", and then non-SuperUser user was able to see the
"Ready for approval" message and approve the dataset.

Hope this helps in finding the solution.

Thanks!
