Cannot see gear menu for users and other security issues/

[remkonoteboom]

I took a quick look at this and you are correct. For some reason, high access level does not show the gear menu items. In the code, it is clearly set:

xml.append('''<rule group="gear_menu" submenu="*" label="*" access="allow"/>''')

This access rule in the login_group table should allow all menus to be visible. I tried adding some menu items manually in the login_group xml access rules:

<rule group="gear_menu" submenu="File" label="Export All ..." project="vfx" access="allow"/>
<rule group="gear_menu" submenu="File" label="Export Selected ..." project="vfx" access="allow"/>
<rule group="gear_menu" submenu="File" label="Export Matched ..." project="vfx" access="allow"/>
<rule group="gear_menu" submenu="File" label="Export Displayed ..." project="vfx" access="allow"/>
<rule group="gear_menu" submenu="File" label="Import CSV" project="vfx" access="allow"/>

And this works fine. I will have to trace through to see why the entire menu is being blocked for the above "*" rules.
