Clear user access rights to selective access list using import - best practice request

YS

Hi

 

I manage user access to modules with selective access enabled lists from admin dashboard with processes importing data user access and roles data. It worked pretty well, but recently I noticed an issue.

 

To apply new access rights for a particular user, I first clear all his current access and import new one. To clear current acess (and update his/her role) I used this simple approach:

 

'Reset Rights' line item contains the top element of selective access list ("All Entities" in this case).

The problem is - it does not work anymore. Something changed in recent months, and it broke couple implementations with the same approach 😞

 

What is the current best practice to clear user access?

 

My "plan B" is setting "No Access" and hoping it will clear all selective access list levels, then switching it back to current access level, and importing new read and write access on each level.

Quick update - "plan B" worked, no issues with it. I have no idea why "Access - None" is not working, but this workaround is enough for now.
