BUG: Problems changing template for a single page

[Monky]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to give a single page a different template than all the rest of the website. I have encountered the following problem:
When I go to the "change settings" of that page and open the drop-down menu "Template" I only see three entries:

Code:

Default settings
-------------------
MyCurrentTemplate

I checked out the WB code behind this listing and it looks like it is a permission problem. The weird thing about it: I am the site admin (in the group administrators).
I tried several things and found this:
When I add my (administrator) user to another group and give that other group the right to use a different template, THEN the other template is shown in the listing.

To me this looks like a BUG: Administrator should have access to all installed templates?!
Since one cannot change the permissions for the group "administrators" its impossible to add this  

Maybe someone can verify this before I create a ticket.

Cheers,
Sebastian

There is a known issue:
If a template has the same name like a module (!) you cannot choose it.

I know there gets a lot RTFM bullsh!t posted in this forum but please guys - did you even read my post? 

I have found a way to reproduce the situation and the way I see it it's a BUG.

How to reproduce it:

• Get a fresh installation of WB (I used the portable Websitebaker locally on my comp - very convenient thanks!) Alternatively just test this in your WB installation.
• Log onto the back-end as admin
• Check the modify page of the (any) WYSIWIG page. The dropdown "Templates" shows all the installed modules.
• Now go to the user management and create a new group "TheGroup" with access only to one template (uncheck the other boxes).
• Create a new user and put that user in the Administrator group AND TheGroup (using shift selection).
• log off as admin, log on as that newly created user
• Go to the modify page of the WYSIWIG page visited above. Check the "Templated" dropdown. You will only see the one template that is allowed for TheGroup - but this user is still an admin!

The gist of this:
Putting a user in multiple groups should never narrow his rights, only broaden. There is a bug in the function that checks user rights.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian, you are right about rights, they should propagate up. Would you please post a ticket to the project site? Thanks.

cheers
