Gantt view permission denied

Description

When browsing the osucal project, there is a tab for gantt charts. However, when I click on it, I get an error message: GANTT_VIEW privileges are required to perform this operation

IMO, the tab should be hidden if someone doesn't have correct permissions (or the permissions should be fixed)...

While I agree, its out of our hands. Each project is responsible for either disabling the gantt chart or adding permissions for it. The plugin is at fault for displaying itself when the current user/group doesn't have permissions, but this might be a way of showing logged out versions of a user that if they were to log in, they would have access to more data (just a guess).

One thing we can do on our end is to disable gantt as a default for new projects since I don't think its that popular.

  • cc set to jeff@osuosl.org.

Agreed, I think disabling it by default may be a good start. Patching the plugin to not show the tab when user doesn't have permissions would be ideal :)

  • status changed from new to closed.
  • resolution set to fixed.

I changed it to default to off and each project has to enable it individually. Taking on maintaining the project would probably be a little much; although it would make a great senior project for another year.

(In [146]) re #2814 making gantt non-default (individual projects can enable as needed) since its not a highly requested plugin.
