We think that this bug might be related to #wave-collect - Release 1

@puneetlath FYI I haven't added the External label as I wasn't 100% sure about this issue. Please take a look and add the label if you agree it's a bug and can be handled by external contributors

This is definitely a BE issue. It sends Workspace chat report of the admin to a non-admin user so the expense displays not found because canUserAccess is false.

@puneetlath Uh oh! This issue is overdue by 2 days. Don't forget to update your issues!

[puneetlath]

Interesting, thanks for that lead @FitseTLT. I'll look into it.

@puneetlath this issue was created 2 weeks ago. Are we close to a solution? Let's make sure we're treating this as a top priority. Don't hesitate to create a thread in #expensify-open-source to align faster in real time. Thanks!

[puneetlath]

Haven't had a chance to look into this yet.

[puneetlath]

It seems like @deetergp will likely be handling this in https://github.com/Expensify/Expensify/issues/428467

This issue has not been updated in over 15 days. @puneetlath eroding to Monthly issue.

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they'll reopen it, and if they don't: one less thing to do!

[puneetlath]

Still on hold.
