Re: [Dhis2-users] Missing app icons when upgrading to 2.21 and 2.22

 

Thanks for your responses. We did later notice that at least for the
upgrade from 2.20 --> 2.21 our user role(s) lost an authority. We can
easily add the authority to the appropriate roles, so problem solved.
However, is it strange that not having that authority prevents the app icon
from appearing but it does not prevent access to the app if the user knows
the URL for the app? It would appear that users could access apps they
shouldn't have access to if they can determine the URL for the app.

Knut, we haven't gotten to the 2.23 upgrade yet but I'll take note of the
new maintenance app when we get there.

Thanks for your help!
