Panel is empty when I create new roles

Kirby 3 Issues 🐛
1

I created a new role (“subadmin”) with the intent to grant almost all permission the admin has. When logged in with person@email.com, the panel is empty. It shows the sections I made, but no pages appear (“No pages yet”). This person does have access to Languages, Users and System and does have permissions to change (as i copied the default.yml from users).

Procedure I went through

  1. added the role to blueprints > users > subadmin.yml by copying the default.yml file
  2. changed the title to Subadmin
  3. as admin, assigned this role to a user (person@email.com)

When I change the role of person@email.com back to its original (editor.yml with restrictions) the pages do show up.

I have updated to new versions of Kirby, tried to replace the .yml files but the issue pertains. Ive been trying to solve it since January but no progress so far.

What is in your subadmin.yml now? Could you please post it here?

Also, please indicate your Kirby version number.

Quirk
I had a previous role (editor.yml) that has EXACTLY the same content as above. When I copy-paste all content from subadmin.yml to editor.yml, someone with Editor role does see pages, but someone with subadmin.yml does not.

Tried solutions
I have tried different filenames, titles, changing permissions and refreshing.
I have tried deleting the file and making a new file from scratch.

Possible next solution(s)
My next try would be rebuilding site > accounts and site > users from scratch. But I don’t know if via that route I could lock myself out of the Panel.

If you delete all accounts, you will have to install the Panel again by creating the first user, so no risk here. If you have many users with content, it might make sense to make a backup first.

  1. I deleted all accounts
  2. emptied the users .yml files
  3. Install panel again (made myself Admin)
  4. create new users (Managing users | Kirby CMS)
  5. create admin.yml (with no stated permissions) > admin pages panel shows
  6. create editor.yml (with all permissions to true Permissions | Kirby CMS) > admin pages panel shows
  7. create reviewer.yml role (with all permissions like point 7.) > reviewer pages panel is empty

Other quirks:

  • When at 6. I create anything else than editor.yml, that pages panel becomes empty (even if the .yml file is exactly the same). So reviewer.yml, subadmin,yml or blabla.yml > respective pages panel is empty
  • when after creating editor.yml i create anything else (reviewer.yml, subadmin,yml or blabla.yml) > respective pages panel is empty

Other tests:

  • rebuilding media folder
  • empty cache or open in private browser
  • adding biographical fields to each role (name, address, email). This does show up “Your account” but the respective pages panel remains empty. So this might mean that the .yml is read
  • added a default.yml
  • deleted the roles and users folder, and rebuilt it.
