Custom roles getting overwritten

What operating system? Windows Server Datacenter SP2

What database platform? MSSQL 2008

What version of mojoPortal? 2.3.7.5

Steps to produce the problem, expected results, actual results

1. Create a custom role

2. Assign User(s) to the role

3. Set upload permissions in the main Site Settings Security tab to new role

4. Set edit permissions on a module (Blog module in this case).

5. Wait a few days

6. Check permissions and they are cleared (Not what I would expect)

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? It's hard to reproduce the exact thing that is resetting the permissions. Nobody is going into the Admin section to change anything between steps 4 and 6. They just magically get reset.

I've looked through the log files and can't seem to see anything wrong, though this is a pretty high traffic site.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

James

Re: Custom roles getting overwritten

If no-one is doing it through the UI then somone or some process must be changing it in the database.

If you are setting the edit permission on the module rather than the page I would inspect the AuthorizedEditRoles field in the row corresponding to the moduleid in the mp_Modules table immediately after editing and again after you see the change in the ui. If you are setting it on the page I would look at the row in mp_Pages corresponding to the page id

Hope that helps,

Joe
