Organic Groups problem in 6.x - no admin access
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello everyone. I filed this support request with OG a few months ago: http://drupal.org/node/473464 This is what I said in the support request:
If I try to manage members of a group for any group I manage ([site]/og/users/[id_number]/faces, I get the 'Access denied' page. This has been happening for a few months, across several releases of drupal 6 core and OG 6.x-x. When I go to [site]/og/manage/[id_number] it knows I'm the group owner. I've asked about this a few times on IRC and really need this fixed, but nobody ever responds on IRC channel #drupal-support. What should I look for? A setting in the database? Please help soon, this has been a truly annoying problem I just haven't had time to look at and hoped some new release would resolve.
I have emailed at least one OG module admin. I have sent chats over IRC about the problem. I have had zero response. This problem is a growing problem because I have months worth of requests to join groups that I can't do anything about. If I can't have a basic user group system running, I really must move on to a different CMS, but I really don't want to do that. I love so many other things about Drupal. Can anyone help me?

Which OG module provides the /faces part of the link? I've played with OG but not enough to know it but I can try to help you. -- Earnie -- http://r-feed.com/ -- http://for-my-kids.com/ -- http://www.4offer.biz/ -- http://give-me-an-offer.com/

I'm not sure. I always thought it was part of the OG core. It might be part of the path module that provides a freindly url though. Out of the OG modules, I have OG, OG Access Control, OG Actions, OG Views, Subgroups for OG enabled.

You might try rebuilding permissions under Administer->Content->Post Settings. Also, assuming you are a site admin, you might want to give yourself Administer Organic Groups permissions. Also you definitely want to be using the issue queue for OG if you're trying to get a problem solved. The best way is to find a someone else having the problem and pool recourses. Its not generally considered good form to go for the module maintainers via email first. File an issue at durpal.org/project/og, and use this list, of course.

I just tried that, and it didn't fix the issue. Thank you for the idea.
Also, assuming you are a site admin, you might want to give yourself Administer Organic Groups permissions.
Under User Permissions, I can give anonymous users and authenticated users 'administer organic groups' permissions, but I think it should be automatic for site admins - there is no column for site admins. Of course I don't want to give all authenticated users this right, or anonymous users. As an extra step, I added a new role, and gave it 'administer organic groups' permissions, then gave my user that role, and I still have the same issue. Am I looking in the wrong place?

I have had this problem posted there for a long time with no response.

I could not find anyone else with this issue, which is why I posted it as a new one, and why I posted it as a support request instead of a bug because nobody else has duplicated it. I didn't email any module maintainers until the issue sat in their queue for a few months. Then I emailed Moshe, I think, and now it's been a few more months with still no response.

Access permissions are automatic for uid 1 (THE site admin), but not for others, so if you're UID 1 then yes, you shouldn't need to grant authenticated users or anonymous. I just wasn't sure whether you were using that user. Sorry if I misunsterstood you regarding your contact methodology. Just never hurts to be careful on this. It's unlike og maintainers to ignore an issue.... Hmm... It's clear you've got something odd going on right now. I might try deleteing cache and session tables if it were my site. Just cause that's helped me with weird problems before (I admit that's flailing a bit). Does this issue seem like it might be relavent? http://drupal.org/node/128306 Could you also send me the issue number that you logged?

David, I don't know if it is related. The issue is at http://drupal.org/node/473464. I've asked a clarifying question. Earnie Quoting "Metzler, David" <metzlerd@evergreen.edu>:

No worries, it is good to make sure people know the correct procedure to follow.
Hmm... It's clear you've got something odd going on right now. I might try deleteing cache and session tables if it were my site. Just cause that's helped me with weird problems before (I admit that's flailing a bit).

That seems different since it was not for the site admin. If it was ever patched, it probably doesn't apply since a patch would have been installed with one of my updates.
