How to delete an uploaded Workflow?

[rainer]

Hi list,

Does anybody know how to delete a workflow - once uploaded to magnolia?

Even the superuser has not the permissions to do so. I tried to give the superuser explicit write rights for the node i wanted to delete - but the node (that carries the uploaded XML) still cant be deleted.

thx a lot

How so? What's the diagnostic? The reason why it can't be deleted ?

sorry, i thought this problem is quite common...

The reason is: The superuser ain't got WRITE rights... He can only read the node.
This is because the XML is stored there - and a doublsclick on it would destroy it, i guess.

Well, not being able to delete a node while you have permissions to do  
so in not very common, no ;)

Didn't you say you added it? Superuser by default as r/w on /* on the  
config repository, anyway.

So I still don't know what happens, what you "get" (see on screen, in  
the logs, etc..) when you try to delete that node. How do you  
determine it can't be deleted and do you determine it's a permission  
issue ?

Yes, it is definitely a permission issue...

there is the Read Only "X" visible behind the node:
just get on demoauthor (as "superuser") and look at the node: "Configuration - modules - workflow - config - flows" - u wont be able to delete it ;)

thx
rainer

PS. there are no special "Read Only" rights set to superuser

Uh! Wow. Interesting... and surprising :D
I have no explanation for that right now.
Maybe check the implementation of the FlowDefinitionManager, which  
afaik creates these nodes.

cheers,

yes, it surely does this.

But also if i find out, that is the way we guess... how can i change the node permissions?

I have no idea... Anyone else?

This is totally correct beviour according to the rights...

Have a look at the workflow-base role: the access to
/modules/workflow/config/flows is restricted to r/o

Suppose you are logged in as superuser, you are in the publishers group.

To delete/modify the flow:

1. login as superuser
2. remove the publishers group from superuser
3. logout and login again to make sure the modification is recognized
4. make your changes
5. add publishers group to superuser again
