[I] When I click settings-Info, I am redirected to /superset/welcome/, except for the admin account. [superset]
sixly opened a new issue, #43089:
URL: https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/43089
### Bug description
The bug is as follows:
1. Click Settings - Info
2. It redirects to the welcome page (https://example.com/superset/welcome/).
If use an account with the admin role, it will be redirected to https://example.com/user_info/ normally.
alpha\gamma does`t work
If I enter https://example.com/users/userinfo/ in the Chrome browser, it will redirect to an old user info page.

Hi @pchukwuemeka424,
I'm interested in contributing a follow-up to improve backward compatibility for existing custom roles affected by the new UserInfo permission.
I noticed the review discussion about custom roles potentially losing access to Settings → Info after an upgrade. I'd like to investigate the role-sync behavior and add regression tests while ensuring that access to user-management views remains restricted.
Would this be a useful follow-up contribution, or would you prefer a different approach?
Thank you!

Hi @sixly! I'm [Dosu](https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot) and I'm helping the Apache Superset team.
This is a **permissions issue** with the `UserInfoView`. The `/user_info/` route uses `class_permission_name = "user"` and `@permission_name("read")` [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/views/user_info.py#L26-L34), which means accessing it requires the `can_read on user` permission.
In the security manager, `"User"` is explicitly listed in `ADMIN_ONLY_VIEW_MENUS` [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py#L265-L290), making `can_read on user` an **Admin-only permission**. When a non-Admin user (Alpha/Gamma) clicks Settings → Info, they lack the required permission and get redirected to `/superset/welcome/`.
Meanwhile, the Settings menu unconditionally shows the "Info" link for all logged-in users — `user_info_url` is set to `"/user_info/"` unless `MENU_HIDE_USER_INFO` is enabled [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/views/base.py#L285-L287), and the frontend renders it whenever `navbarRight.user_info_url` is truthy [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset-frontend/src/features/home/RightMenu.tsx#L551-L556).
**The root cause** is that `class_permission_name = "user"` ties `UserInfoView` to the `User` view-menu, which is Admin-only. To fix this properly, `UserInfoView` would need its own distinct permission name granted to Alpha/Gamma roles (similar to how `ACCESSIBLE_PERMS` already includes `can_userinfo` for the old FAB route) [[5]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/security/manager.py#L344).
As a **workaround**, you can manually grant the `can_read on user` permission to your Alpha/Gamma roles via Settings → Security, though that has wider implications since it also grants read access to general user management views.
This looks like a genuine bug — the "Info" link should either work for all roles or be hidden for those who don't have access.

@Solanki-Jatin there are not really assignments on issues. If you want to work on it feel free to pick it up.

Happy to work on this if the maintainers are open to it - from Dosu's diagnosis, would the preferred fix be giving UserInfoView its own permission name (option in the analysis above), or is there a different approach you'd prefer for RBAC-sensitive code like this?

From a user's perspective, every user should have the default privilege to view their own info, rather than the admin privilege (this was the setting in version 5.0.0).
If I can see it, then I should be able to access it.
I'm not a developer, but I hope the Superset team can fix this.

I'll take this one — the Settings → Info link requires `can_read on user`/`User`, which is Admin-only, so Alpha/Gamma get bounced to welcome.
Fix: give `UserInfoView` its own `can_userinfo on UserInfo` permission (already covered by `ACCESSIBLE_PERMS`) so stock Gamma/Alpha can open their own profile after role sync.
