Whenever using the delete option on a message not belonging to the current user, it does not work.
Steps to reproduce
Try to delete a message from another user, the option to delete it is proposed, the confirm modal appears, but no action is done.
The user trying the action is an administrator of the team/channel
Expected behavior
Really doing the delete action, or at least, do not propose it if not possible/intended to work this way.
By “CE 4.0.1” do you mean Team Edition? Could you share a screenshot of your “About Mattermost” screen please? (3-bar main menu > About Mattermost)
I have tried on numerous servers running different versions of Mattermost and am not able to repro your issue. As a team / channel admin, I am able to delete someone else’s message (behaves as expected).
Yep, sorry, I’m used to general wording of tools.
So yes, Team Edition, 4.0.1.
For the record, I noticed that in the system logs (/admin_console/logs), I repeatedely had this log: You do not have the appropriate permissions [details: userId=XXX, permission=delete_others_posts
And I have to add this information:
This happens whenever an admin of the team tries to delete a post from a direct message channel.
The message really disappears after confirming deletion, but it reappears on refresh of channel.
And this error is sent in the logs.
So I guess, normal behavior ?
An admin can’t delete a post in a direct message channel that belongs to a user?
