Mobile App Login Problem

Ok, thinking it should be my bad I continued trying and occasionally get lucky ( 1 out of 15 times) to login.
Once in as Zephyr user I noticed that, although the user is set to view tasks and projects only, I was able to create tasks and projects. While not being able to see the projects created it is though possible to view the tasks.
Adding – Edit Projects and Edit Tasks – to the user profile ends up in not being able to do so. Changes made to tasks are not being stored at all.
Since the save-button on task edit form gets visible and accessible (via scrolling) in landscpe mode only, I stopped further investigations.
Is it just me or my phone causing these issues?

Hi Digi,

Thanks so much for getting in touch, and my sincere apologies for the trouble you are experiencing.

Could I kindly ask to confirm if you are using the latest version of the plugin (version 3.3.1) as well as the latest version of the mobile app?

I have tried replicating the issue but have not yet been able to, so just wanted to confirm if the latest versions are installed or if other versions are needed to reproduce the issue.

Thank you for your time. I am looking forward to your response and helping to get this fixed as soon as possible.

Kindest regards,
Dylan

Hi Dylan,

thanks for responding! Yes, all latest versions including Wp.
As of today I could login via “new login” but have not been lucky to succeed via the old version. With the new version I now get the welcome screen like on the desktop app and with user profile set to “view tasks assigned” only I don’t get access to projects anymore as it is possible via the old login. But as the list of shown tasks under the “All Tasks” tab is now filtered correctly (not with the old version) I still get to see the “Add Task” button in the top half of the screen (vs. bottom half on old vers.). While no longer having access to view or create any projects, it is possible to add categories and tasks and assign users to them. Finally a user can change all of his profile options concerning tasks and activities, though it seems that does not have any impact on his actual capabilities. I personally would not want to get a restricted user to see all/any Zephir activities.
That’s as far as I’ve come. As with the given capability settings, I don’t see a way, a user/manager would be able to see the projects being assigned to, with all their activities whether assigned to them or not without having to give the right to see all activities (of all projects). Hope I’m wrong…?

Best,
Digi

Being able to answer this question myself by digging deeper I found another inconstancy:
Setting up a user Role as “Zephir User” with the permissions to view and edit projects and tasks assigned to, this user is able to create new tasks and assign himself with this task to any project being assigned to. For every project assigned to he can also view and edit every task and this way assign himself to tasks he hasn’t. I guess that this is in contradiction to the given capabilities as well. It might be OK that a project or team member can see all project tasks (consistently this would require a capability like “view all tasks to projects assigned”), but his limited capability to edit only tasks he is assigned to should stick in any case.
So there is something more left to be straightened.

One more thing: If you select a task on the tasks page next you’ll get to a task overview page that provides no other navigation option than to proceed to the edit screen of that task. IMHO that does no add any value. Either get directly to the edit page or be able to navigate back to the tasks or project page as now finally possible on the task edit page only. To me the only reason for such an task overview page is to provide information for those users not having edit permissions, but this is alrready being served by leaving out the save button on the edit page as well.

Anxiously awaiting things to come ??

Kindly,
Digi

Hi Digi,

Thanks for the response.

The issues have now been resolved in the updated mobile app and plugin versions.
Regarding the feature to go directly to the project/task instead of showing a popup, this is a setting that has been added in the latest unreleased version, and will be included in the next major release, and is in the beta version I sent via email.

I will let you know as soon as that is released.

Kindest regards,
Dylan
