Permissions settings not moved when changing host site #9

Closed clarkac1 closed 4 years ago

clarkac1 commented 4 years ago

I moved a Drupal based client from one hosting site to another. I used Drupal Backup and Migrate to transfer the Drupal data from the source site to the target site. All 'people' data and permissions transferred as expected, but the checked permissions for activities did not transfer at all. In other words the activity permissions created by this extension were all backed up & restored correctly but none of the activity permissions that were set on the source site were set on the target site. i.e. all the activity permissions were empty. Of course moving host sites is done infrequently, but the impact of this problem was, for a while, high.

Hi @clarkac1

Could you please let me know the version of CiviCRM you were using when this happened?

clarkac1 commented 4 years ago

Hi

The Civi version was 5.19.4 and Drupal 7.69. I used 'Backup and Restore' to move the Drupal permissions.

So we imagine that there may have been possible problems if the extension was not present and enabled on the new site. But once it is, they should work.

@Edzelopez could there be a problem with the extension resetting the permissions if it thought it was being reinstalled or re-enabled? Just a guess.

That's an interesting idea. Moving a Civi system to another shared hosting isn't trivial as you know - I've done it a few times. Looking at my task list I restored from the Drupal backup and restore and installed the extension on the new Civi system afterwards, which would explain what happened. My apologies, I think this is a problem I caused - inadvertently. I will change the sequence next time.

By the way, my users have a lot of activity types so there is very long list of permissions - and sometimes when they add new activity types the permissions don't save first time - they have to retry. Have you ever seen this problem? They have 512mb of memory so I don't think lack of memory is the problem.

@clarkac1 closing this. Could you create a separate issue for the 'permissions don't save first time' issue and @mention @Edzelopez in it?

clarkac1 commented 4 years ago

Will do, and thanks for your help with this very useful extension.
