Operate permission cannot View pipeline group

Issue Type

• Bug Report

Summary

When you set the permissions for a role on a pipeline group to 'operate' and save the configuration then the user with the role cannot view the pipeline group.

Environment

Docker Image: gocd/gocd-server:v20.1.0
OS Information: | Linux 4.15.0-74-generic
Underlying Host OS: Ubuntu 18.04.3
Docker version 19.03.5, build 633a0ea838
Browser: Chrome + Safari (Remotely from MacOSX)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Under the pipelines admin page, edit a pipeline group and set a role permission to 'operate' on pipeline group
2. save the configuration
3. Login as a user with that role

Expected Results

'View' permission is encompassed in 'Operate' and so the user with the role can both view and operate the pipelines within the pipeline group

Actual Results

User cannot see the pipeline group. It is completely hidden from them.

Possible Fix

Have to manually update the xml and explicitly add a view permission as well as operate permission. But any change through the pipeline admin interface wipes out the change.

This has been fixed by @kritika-singh3 in #7753 and I verified it in experimental build "GoCD Version: 20.2.0 (11230-35a2600595047712b15d1b409ee799e86ccb74b6)" which is not yet up on gocd.org/download as an experimental build. It will be part of 20.2.0.

Thank you for opening this issue, @thomasf1234.

I stumbled over this problem too. As a workaround in 20.1.0 you can add the "View" permission for this user via GUI in addition to the "Operate" permission. This works for me.

Closing this issue as @arvindsv has verified it.
