When I navigate to an EDIT form for a record that the user created, I am getting the error message "You do not have authorization to access this area.". The same user that created the underlying data record is the one trying to access the form. Am I missing something from a security standpoint? I never set anything up specifically.

Hi natloz,

Is this an Edit link from a ChronoConnection listing? If so then you may need to set permissions in the listing.

If it is just a standard ChronoForm are you using the Authenticator action or some custom code to link the user with the Edit?

This is an edit form invoked by the following URL
mydomainname/index.php?option=com_chronoforms5&chronoform=IdeaReview&PID=1&cf_id=1

I have decided to not use this form and take another approach for now...I can't wait any longer.

Hi natloz,

I'm playing catch-up this week after being away travelling for a while.

It looks as though this is an edit from a ChronoConnectivity listing. In that case this is probably an Edit Permissions setting in ChronoConnectivity.

What exactly is ChronoConnectivity and how do I see the permissions for it?

Hi natloz,

If you don't know what it is then you probably aren't using it. It is the sister component to ChronoForms used for listing data. That does apply permissions.

If you are not using it and don't have an Authenticator action in your form - or custom code checking user groups then the message most likely isn't being created by ChronoForms but by some other security setting on your site.

Ya I don't have that component. I will perhaps recreate the form and see if it is not just a glitch. Thanks.
