Re: [xacml-users] XACML Studio: problem with deleting policies

You need to have admin permissions to delete. There is a property in development/production.rb that is called:

XS_Config.super_users = ['user_name']

It's actually a list of all admin users.

Add there all users that need write/change/delete access.

Hope it helps.
Oleg.

Subject: [xacml-users] XACML Studio: problem with deleting policies

Hi,

When working in XACML Studio, I tried to delete some obsolete policies
only to get the following message:
FAILED TO DELETE: Not Authorized

I searched for that text and the alert is raised in
XS_ROOT/public/xs/scripts/util.js.

It seems to send an Ajax request as follows:
                var request = Ext.Ajax.request({
                   url: path,
                   node: node,
                   params: {_method:'delete', authenticity_token:
'08a615abb8ef5bf86adddf9c92394bceda2b2a9c'},
                   success: function(resp,opt){XSU.deleteNode(opt['node']);},
                   failure: function(resp,opt){alert("FAILED TO DELETE:
"+resp.responseText);}
                });

The authenticity_token looks suspicious because it is a hardcoded value. 
Sometimes such tokens come from cookies, but there is no attempt made by
the code to read any cookie value.  I tried putting in the value of the
session cookie created when I logged in earlier, but it didn't work.

I would welcome any advice on how to overcome this problem.

Thanks,
Bernard
