[Bug 1474060] [NEW] Users able to delete dashboard items without authorization

 

Public bug reported:

Hello Devs,

Saw this occur on a production 2.18 machine by reading the logs,
Confirmed this on 2.19 using the SL demo site

Steps to recreate:
1. Create dashboard with administrator account
2. Set public as 'can view'
3. Add dashboard item, in my case it was a pivot table
4. Log in with user with the following rights:
- Add/Update Data Value
- Run validation
- See Browser Cache Cleaner module
- See Dashboard integration module
- See Data Entry module
- See Data Visualizer module
- See Event Visualizer module
- See GIS module
- See Pivot Table module
- See Report module
- See Validation Rule module
5. Navigate to dashboard created in Step 1, click remove on any dashboard item
- Note, it usually takes a page reload to reflect the results of this action, making it look like nothing happened until the refresh

You should find that the dashboard item(s) is no longer there.

Here is the relevant section of the log from the production 2.18 system:
* INFO  2015-07-10 18:59:16,625 '[redacted]' delete org.hisp.dhis.dashboard.DashboardItem, uid: ov1BR9Hxj0z (AuditLogUtil.java [http-bio-8080-exec-276])
* INFO  2015-07-10 18:59:16,638 '[redacted]' update denied org.hisp.dhis.dashboard.Dashboard, name: Principaux, uid: NYmDyNmCqG6 (AuditLogUtil.java [http-bio-8080-exec-276])

You'll notice the dashboard item was removed, but the subsequent step to
update the dashboard was denied. As user with proper authority will
cause the following entries:

* INFO  2015-07-12 17:18:28,794 'timharding' delete org.hisp.dhis.dashboard.DashboardItem, uid: P1XHv9Dxfsn (AuditLogUtil.java [http-bio-8080-exec-11])
* INFO  2015-07-12 17:18:28,803 'timharding' update org.hisp.dhis.dashboard.Dashboard, name: Baiap Health Centre, uid: T7WL4dirz1D (AuditLogUtil.java [http-bio-8080-exec-11])

We'd like it so that the users can see the dashboard but are unable to
edit the contents. Please let me know if you need any additional info to
sort this one out. Thanks!
