Proposal

Please re-state the problem that we are trying to solve in this issue.

WS list is opened when trying to open a WS shared link without any access.

What is the root cause of that problem?

The WS share link actually points to a WS join link (e.g., https://new.expensify.com/settings/workspaces/B6EEE0522721D212/join?email=bernhard.josephus@gmail.com).

Opening the join link will send a join request and the user will be navigated to the WS list as expected. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/987ff1b536f2144e5fd492c6d2d2aa621d68442f/src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceJoinUserPage.tsx#L53-L60

The real problem here is that, the WS that we are trying to join doesn't appear on the WS list page. It's because we are filtering any policy that doesn't have role. https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/987ff1b536f2144e5fd492c6d2d2aa621d68442f/src/libs/PolicyUtils.ts#L183-L188

It's to solve this issue. A WS that we are trying to join only have this information.

Because there is no role information, the policy isn't shown.

What changes do you think we should make in order to solve the problem?

If we look at the shouldShowPolicy condition, we already check for isJoinRequestPending to make sure any pending join WS still included on the list, but since the introduction of the role checking, this issue started to happen.

https://github.com/Expensify/App/blob/987ff1b536f2144e5fd492c6d2d2aa621d68442f/src/libs/PolicyUtils.ts#L183-L188

I think if a WS is pending join, then we can always show it, skipping the other conditions.

return (
    !!policy?.isJoinRequestPending ||
    (!!policy &&
        policy?.type !== CONST.POLICY.TYPE.PERSONAL &&
        (isOffline || policy?.pendingAction !== CONST.RED_BRICK_ROAD_PENDING_ACTION.DELETE || Object.keys(policy.errors ?? {}).length > 0) &&
        !!getPolicyRole(policy, currentUserLogin))
);
