I can no longer open the cubs in my den(s). They had hamburger menus that let me edit, transfer, etc, but the edit functionality is gone from the scout and the den. I can’t even get an edit menu for my own son, in a den I lead (I can see that through the profile though). All this worked as expected on the afternoon of the 17th, as I went through a bunch of functionality with the cubmaster and got assigned another small den, then we verified permissions.
So it looks like something got mixed up in the roster bug fix later that evening. I already tried hard reloading, opening an inprivate window, all that. It all looks the same.
I am 142242331 and my son is 142242336, in case someone wants to look up details on the back end.
@JordanMills first thing I notice is you are an ACM - they have little to no permissions in the new permissions structure. Your Key3 would need to extend permissions to you. You do have old den admin positions, but I would fix permissions.
A major focus of the migration to Scoutbook Plus is to have positions mirror the positions shown in My.Scouting to ensure positions were reflected accurately in both platforms. The main purpose it to honor the guidance of our charter organizations and the positions they approve. Therefore, Scoutbook Plus does not use Legacy Scoutbook positions. Registered positions are used to provide base permissions. Some additional permissions can be added by the unit, however, there are restrictions on what can be given. See the updated Scoutbook_Permissions.pdf and the Scoutbook Plus permissions video for more details. Just as permissions are now limited - so is report access - https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/scoutbook/Report-Permission-Access.pdf
Thanks. I reviewed those docs last night but it didn’t seem to apply. The cubmaster did set me as ACM and as the leader of additional dens (we’re combining some a year apart because they are so small). We gave it a few minutes after that, then verified that I had the expected permissions.
But now I see that I can’t create calendar events any more either, which is one of my primary tasks. So you’re saying that adding a position will remove other permissions that were just granted?
Being assigned to a den gives you nothing as far as permissions unless you are a registered Den Leader. As an ACM you should be able to make calendar events, but not activities.
It is not a new position you need it is Permission assignments. You where given Activities permission, but I think that was when you were Den Leader, so that permission ended with that position, and would need to be given again with your new position. You have no added permissions at this time.
Something really weird is going on. Now (in the time since I started this thread) I can’t see the roster. It just directs me to my profile. What I can see from before, when I’d loaded it to take screenshots, is that it has me as an adult in several dens and listed as assistant cubmaster.
I blocked out every name here, and put a blue-bounded box over mine. I hope that meets privacy requirements.
You can see that it says I’m supposed to have some permissions. In my profile it also shows that I Should have at least some permissions that don’t seem to be working.
I think that either something is broken on the back end (and still breaking, since I lost access to the roster in the past few minutes) or the permissions don’t work as they seem to be documented.
The rub here is that I’m by far the most technical person in unit leadership, and was asked to get things functional so the non-technical people don’t have to keep spending tons of time figuring this out every few weeks. I’m locked out of the stuff I’m supposed to be doing to try to keep our unit alive until I can get time to sit down with the other leaders and try to figure out how to get permissions applied back without giving myself too much. If you have any experience or practical advice on how to manage scoutbook plus in this situation, I’d appreciate anything you could share. Thanks again.
Well those are the ACM permissions that are default. You would not be able to interact with the ropster with these permissions.
I see, but I had roster access until a few minutes ago. And nobody has made any changes this morning (the COR lives next door and I know she’s not awake yet).
But according to the permissions sheet, the ACM should have access to create/edit/remove calendar events and create messages, and the access can’t be removed. Do I understand that correctly?
Should be Calendar, Messages, and activity I think - will have to check on the last one as we have had a few issues on cross communication on some permissions
@JordanMills - the roster fix on the 17th involved unit leadership that also had merit badge counselor roles.
