Forma File Browser: You can't access

[marius]

Good day

I'm running running Forma V2.4.5 - upgraded from V2.3. Since the upgrade, the normal course admin and instructors are not able to edit/upload any media files. I've checked all standard permissions within the System Configuration but can not find anything.

When a course admin or instructor wants to upload a media file he receives the following error in the File Browser popup:

Forma File Browser
You can't access

The system admin user can however still add, edit media files.

I think the reason is that file browser plugin is located under appCore folder, that is not accessible to non admin users.
I mean ADMIN_GROUP_GODADMIN or ADMIN_GROUP_ADMIN, not course level admins.
I agree that file browser should be hosted in addons where tinymce is.
Thanks for the hint

I'll be testing an upgrade from V2.4.5 to V3.1 over the weekend to see if the same issue exists. Is there a workaround in the mean time for my instructors / admins? I do not want to give them super-admin rights...

There's no workaround.
Just fix the code.

I think the issue had been fixed a long time ago, I guess at least in 3.0

Anyway, with every release we include a description of the bugfixes. So, for this bug or for other bugs, it might make sense to take a look at the release notes.
