Cannot set admin's e-mail address #13127

pylorak · 2018-12-17T15:16:20Z

I log in as the admin user, and I go to Users. After entering a valid e-mail address (previously missing) for the admin, I get error "An error occured during the request. Unable to proceed." Refreshing the page or loading Settings->Personal Info confirms that the e-mail address has not been saved.

In Setttings->Logging no message is visible.

Setting the e-mail address (changing and adding both) works as expected for other (non-admin) users.

Nextcloud version: 15.0.0 (but issue also existed on 14.0.3)

EDIT: Here is a screen recording demonstrating the issue: link

Hello,

I tried on my instance (Nextcloud 15.0.0), and it worked fine.
I went as you said:

log in as Admin -> Users -> wrote a random email address and press enter
spinning wheel for few sec, and the email was saved

If I go to " Settings", I can now see the email address.

I did the same to delete, and it worked too.

Could you provide last entries of the log file after you try?

(I have no SMTP server configured)

Regards,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Yes, that's correct, that's exactly what I do too, but as I said for me it does not work for the admin user. It does work for other users (well, I actually only have one other user).

Here are the last couple of lines form the logfile. I see no relevant error there. I tried setting the admin's e-mail address many times since the version upgrade in the logfile.

If it can help, you can increase the log verbosity:
as Admin, you go in Settings -> logging (bottom of the left menu) -> click on the " ..." next to level and enable "debug"

then try again.

Just for comparison, I got those 4 lines when I pressed the enter button:

Do you have any errors on your web server logs?

Is it failing only with the email field? Or same behaviour with any Admin info (Full name, language, etc)?

Regards,

Olivier

pylorak · 2018-12-17T23:10:40Z

Hi,

Log verbosity is already at maximum
I also cannot set the admin's display name (so it seems issue is not specific to e-mail field)
But I do can set things under Settings->Personal Info
I see no errors in either apache's or php's log

I made a small screen recording to demonstrate the issue and the above points. I shared it using my NextCloud: link

giraudeo · 2018-12-18T06:50:02Z

Hello Karoly,

If all log levels are configured, you must get something in the Nextcloud.log file.
Do you have such an entry in the config.php file:

'loglevel' => 0,

Regards,

Olivier

pylorak · 2018-12-18T10:51:36Z

Ok, I had loglevel 1 in config.php, now I set it to 0.

Setting the admin's e-mail or display name still produces no new lines in the logfile.

Setting the loglevel to 0 worked though, because now setting the non-admin's e-mail produces the following messages:

There were no errors during the reload, except for the warning concerning the polyfill. After the reload, the failed action added two more lines to the console. I expanded the one with the error to be able to see the details.

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T06:01:08Z

A bit late, my apologies :)
I will need a screenshot of your network requests.
Before you do anything, still on the development tools, there is a tab called network. Click on it and then the xhr filter. Do your action and screenshot the network log like this:

Then on the failing request (should be an error 401 according to your logs above) click on it and copy the full content of the response tab here please.

pylorak · 2019-08-15T08:44:02Z

Hi, no prob, thanks for looking at the issue,

And response content was:
{"ocs":{"meta":{"status":"failure","statuscode":997,"message":""},"data":[]}}

Now running on Nextcloud 15.0.2.

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T08:51:08Z

Are you the admin? Or the sub admin?
Do you have access to your php files so we can inject some debug logs?

pylorak · 2019-08-15T08:53:46Z

Yes, I am the admin.

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T08:54:44Z

Could you add (respectively) 1, 2 and 3 in the '' on the OCSException of the following lines:

server/apps/provisioning_api/lib/Controller/UsersController.php

Line 236 in 8f4adeb

throw new OCSException('', \OCP\API::RESPOND_UNAUTHORISED);

server/apps/provisioning_api/lib/Controller/UsersController.php

Line 261 in 8f4adeb

throw new OCSException('', \OCP\API::RESPOND_UNAUTHORISED);

server/apps/provisioning_api/lib/Controller/UsersController.php

Line 266 in 8f4adeb

throw new OCSException('', \OCP\API::RESPOND_UNAUTHORISED);

throw new OCSException('1', \OCP\API::RESPOND_UNAUTHORISED);

pylorak · 2019-08-15T08:56:11Z

And then redo the screenshot and response content from above? What output should I supply after injecting these lines?

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T08:57:01Z

Only the output of the response tab
{"ocs":{"meta":{"status":"failure","statuscode":997,"message":""},"data":[]}}

pylorak · 2019-08-15T09:03:20Z

Hmmm... these lines look different on my server. Let me try upgrading to the newest NC version first.

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T09:04:30Z

@pylorak lines could be different, but you should find the similar lines on the edituser function :)

pylorak · 2019-08-15T09:31:49Z

I only upgraded to 15.0.10 because NC 16 requires PHP 7.1 and I only have 7.0. Upgrading PHP is a "bit" more work so NC 15 it is for now, sorry.

I think I was able to find the corresponding lines, I also crosschecked with the GitHub code-links that you pasted earlier.

The response payload now is:
{"ocs":{"meta":{"status":"failure","statuscode":997,"message":"3"},"data":[]}}

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T09:33:59Z

So, it means you're trying to change a value that you're not allowed to change.
Can you replace the 3 debug line with

throw new OCSException([$key, $permittedFields], \OCP\API::RESPOND_UNAUTHORISED);

pylorak · 2019-08-15T09:44:12Z

Then no exception is thrown. The request succeeds but the new value is not saved. Error log says:

Error: Wrong parameters for OCP\AppFramework\OCS\OCSException([string $message [, long $code [, Throwable $previous = NULL]]]) at /data/www/pados/cloud.pados.hu/www/apps/provisioning_api/lib/Controller/UsersController.php#495

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T09:48:18Z

AH damn, sorry it is supposed to be a string.
Please use

throw new OCSException(json_encode([$key, $permittedFields]), \OCP\API::RESPOND_UNAUTHORISED);

pylorak · 2019-08-15T09:49:43Z

{"ocs":{"meta":{"status":"failure","statuscode":997,"message":"[\"email\",[\"password\",\"language\",\"locale\",\"phone\",\"address\",\"website\",\"twitter\",\"quota\"]]"},"data":[]}}

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T09:52:34Z

Could you share your config.php? occ config:list

pylorak · 2019-08-15T09:55:10Z

config.txt

pylorak · 2019-08-15T10:03:04Z

Can it be an error in the upgrade script (or an old version of the upgrade script)? This installation used to be an old owncloud instance, which has been upgraded multiple times, then at one point it was upgraded to nextcloud, and of course has also been upgraded many times since. Maybe an upgrade script in the past forgot to add the necessary permissions for the admin user?

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T10:15:16Z

You have allow_user_to_change_display_name to false, therefore you cannot change the email nor displayname :)
That's why!

kesselb · 2019-08-15T10:16:04Z

@skjnldsv is on fire today 👍

server/apps/provisioning_api/lib/Controller/UsersController.php

Lines 439 to 443 in a8a5594

    
           if ($this->config->getSystemValue('allow_user_to_change_display_name', true) !== false) { 
        
           	$permittedFields[] = 'display'; 
        
           	$permittedFields[] = AccountManager::PROPERTY_DISPLAYNAME; 
        
           	$permittedFields[] = AccountManager::PROPERTY_EMAIL; 
        
           }

server/config/config.sample.php

Lines 221 to 225 in 465e919

    
           /** 
        
            * ``true`` allows users to change their display names (on their Personal 
        
            * pages), and ``false`` prevents them from changing their display names. 
        
            */ 
        
           'allow_user_to_change_display_name' => true,

It's not obvious but you cannot change the email if allow_user_to_change_display_name is false.

pylorak · 2019-08-15T10:31:20Z

Aahhh.... yeah totally not obvious, for many different reasons:

I had no problem changing the e-mail address of other users as admin. I could only not set my own. Having more rights to set other users' properties than my own is some twisted logic.
The setting doesn't say anything about forbidding an e-mail change, it only talks about display name.
In any case, I would expect that setting only affects non-admin users. Because I expect that admin always has all privileges, that's kind of the point of being admin.

Thanks for the help. I recommend slightly changing how this setting works (see my points above why), or at least improving the documentation.

skjnldsv · 2019-08-15T14:43:23Z

This is an old one from 2 years ago: #5223

Though, I think @pylorak raises interesting questions. It's not very obvious :)
I asked some questions in the 5223 pull request :)

1 & 3 are basically the same (in the code), and I totally agree on 2!
