Dashboard controls disappeared from Admin console

PowerShell Universal
1

Rebuilt our app services yesterday as we’re changing the name of our implementation and since the rebuild, it’s not showing us the console controls (start/stop, view details etc) for dashboards even though we’re logged in as full admins.

Can get to all the settings pages etc, and if I manually browse to /dashboards/3 (or any other) then I can see the management page for a dashboard, but still get no stop/start buttons.

This was happening on 2.6.2, have now upgraded to 2.7.0 and it looks the same.

Any thoughts/pointers?

Can you give some more information on your auth & roles method?
Have you tried enforcing the role to administrator under identities rather than letting it be policy defined?

Thanks for the reply @insomniacc :slight_smile:

Using Azure OIDC with Group Claims and then processed in roles.ps1 as below:

New-PSURole -Name "Administrator" -Description "Administrators can manage settings of UA, create and edit any entity within UA and view all the entities within UA." -Policy {
    param(
        $User
    )
    $User.HasClaim("groups", $env:ADMIN_ROLE_GROUPID)
}

All the groupids for the role groups are stored as environment variables, set by Terraform at build time - these all look fine and the roles get applied - dumping $roles into a UDList shows I’m a member of all the built in roles plus some of my custom ones:

The Admin role definitely has some of the effects I’d expect - if I take myself out of the role group and relogin so it no longer applies, I no longer see the security and settings menus in the admin console.

Adding Administrator directly under Identities has the same effect - although then I seem to be only able to apply one role - but still, no control buttons get displayed.

Wonder if this is a clue - we’ve recently set our git sync to one-way to resolve some merge conflicts:

Rebuilding with two-way sync re-enabled now… :crossed_fingers:

Yep, that got it - redeployed with two-way sync and it’s working like a charm.

@adam - is this something you’re aware of/expect? Can log as a bug if needed.

This is not something I’m aware of and would appreciate a bug report.

Here you go: Dashboard controls don't appear when GitSync is set to 1-Way · Issue #846 · ironmansoftware/issues · GitHub

It’s no longer taking the admin controls away, but interestingly now in 2.7.3 setting “one-way” in appsettings.json doesn’t seem to be having an effect - seems to be stuck on Two-Way:

I’ll open and issue for this so I make sure to double check it before 2.8 is out. The issue referenced was fixed in 2.8 but it differs from what you are reporting.
