Login issues with users that have limited permissions

[aricwatson]

User is reporting getting access denied upon login, for users with limited permissions.

I am on magento 1.9.4 The first time user enters username/pass and is taken to admin but gets a access denied message and also does not get to setup 2 factor. This is for a non admin user with limited permissions. Access areas are catalog, sales, customers, cms but only limited access to admin. cache, index and two factor authentication

Same issue here. The Managers account, who have access to backend with limited permission, like, products, sales, cache, index, etc. are getting permission denied. Please help

I am also having this issue with a client.

@jimbo11883 can you add some more info about your issue? Log entries, screenshots and any other information you consider useful.

After logging into Magento admin, I get the following page:

[jimbo11883]

It never gets to the TFA login screen. It doesn't log anything to two_factor_auth.log.

[miguelbalparda]

@jimbo11883 can you access Sales, Catalog, Customers, CMS or System when you see that screen?

[jimbo11883]

No, it gives you the same screen.

[miguelbalparda]

Can you show me how the admin user is configured?

[jimbo11883]

Sure.

[miguelbalparda]

Can you try adding the Dashboard permission for this user role?

[jimbo11883]

Same issue.

Any updates on this issue?

[miguelbalparda]

It seems https://github.com/nexcess/magento-sentry-two-factor-authentication/pull/17 fixes this issue, can you give this a try and report back?

[jimbo11883]

It worked for me! Thanks!

Ran into this issue after branching from master. Any word on when this will be merged into the master branch?
