Patrick,
Yes, that is a new feature in 2.2.1. There were some parts of the site you
didn't see unless your account had user.adminlevelid set to 3. I finally
replaced that with an interface on the privileges page. There are additional
permissions that can be assigned per user group but that don't make sense
having assigned at any specific nodes in the privilege tree.
If you're not seeing the additional tab, you need to create an entry in the
usergrouppriv table. Find the id of a usergroup of which you are a member and
then create an entry in that table using userprivtypeid = 1. As an example,
if you are a member of a usergroup whose id is 5, you would do
INSERT INTO usergrouppriv (usergroupid, userprivtypeid) VALUES (5, 1)
After doing that, you'll probably need to log out and then back in. Then,
you'll see the additional tab on the privileges page.

Re: accept/reject block allocations
Posted by James Patrick Sigmon <jp...@ncsu.edu>.
Josh,
I'm still running on 2.2.0 as of now. I'm hesitant to upgrade until after we get out of the proof of concept phase, in case something goes wrong and the system goes down during this critical time.
I believe block allocation management must have been working all along, but I couldn't tell due to the cache issue. (Checking in Firefox after the database entry gave the illusion that a change had been made).
I'm now having issues with my actual block allocations, but I'll make a new thread for that.
Thanks,
Patrick

Patrick,
I'm happy to hear clearing the cache fixed one issue.
The usergrouppriv table should have been created by the update-vcl.sql script
included with 2.2.1.
id 1 in the userprivtypeid table is "block". So, the insert you did would
have blocked any cascaded rights assigned to the admin group at the VCL node
(parent node of the admin node) from being cascaded down to the admin node.
So, it would be really strange for that to have given you the rights you
needed to see the block allocation management stuff.

Josh,
Clearing the cache fixed the other browsers.
As far as the tab issue goes, I thought it might have been a typo before, but perhaps you have a table I do not (usergrouppriv).
So I did the following instead:
INSERT INTO userpriv (usergroupid, privnodeid, userprivtypeid) VALUES (3, 4, 1)
3 being the admin group and 4 being the admin privilege node.
Does that explain the result I got?

Patrick,
That sounds more like a browser cache issue. I've tested the site using
Safari and Chrome and found everything to work correctly. Can you try
clearing your cache in Safari and Chrome and then logging in a again?
I'm also confused that granting yourself the one privilege I mentioned gave
you access to manage block allocations. It should have granted you the
ability to give yourself the needed permission to manage block allocations
rather than actually granting that permission directly.
If you have a chance today, can you go to our IRC room so I can help you with
this? I really don't think it's a bug but rather that your browsers are in a
strange state. However, I'd like to know for sure. The IRC room is #asfvcl
on freenode.

Re: accept/reject block allocations
Posted by James Patrick Sigmon <jp...@ncsu.edu>.
Thanks Josh,
That enabled the privilege I needed to manage the block reservations. However, it didn't create any tabs under the Privilege page. I also didn't notice the change to the Block Allocations page until I logged in through Firefox. This applies to a few other components too. I can see them in Firefox but not in Safari or Chrome. For example, I can't see the max concurrent reservations label or textbox under Safari or Chrome, but can in Firefox.
Is this a know issue? Should I create a jira issue for this?
Thanks again,
Patrick
