Preside as Admin only application problem with Admin-user permissions

Problems and solutions
1

I have updated a Admin only application to the latest preside version v10.27.28+0008761.

With the existing setup the Admin-user and Groups are not accessable anymore. I have already found out that CMS must be activated so that I can have it available in the admin again.

Even the name is misleading I have activated the cmsUserManager.
settings.features.cmsUserManager.enabled = true;
But the feature depends on “cms” now.
, cmsUserManager = { enabled=true , siteTemplates=[ “*” ], widgets= , dependsOn=[ “cms” ] }

I am able to access the Admin-user after some tweaks but get the error with the cms user welcome Email.

My Workaround:

  • activate the features
  • cms/sitetree/sites
  • removed the main menu items from the
  • settings.admin.topNavItems
    But I still have the required roles available in the user groups.
    However, I don’t need CMS/Sitetree/Sites and don’t really want to.

Any recommendations or is this already reported?

Philipp

This seems like a bug. I think we need to ensure that the correct features are associated here. “cmsUserManagement” is an unfortunate name for it and related to very first days of referring to the admin as “cms”.

Did you play with the core at all to tweak feature dependencies to make this work as expected?

Checking out an admin only application appeared to work well for me but perhaps had failed to go through all the user management bits.

fwiw also, we are working on a reworked admin user administration in upcoming release of the alt-admin-theme. At some point soon we also hope to merge this into the core for the next major release.
