No permission to webspace after changing webspace key

Question

I am new to Sulu and trying to learn using it for a new project. After playling around a bit I wanted to change the platform key.

After that, the admin interface didn't show the Webspaces tab anymore.

I executed the commands

• bin/console ca:cl
• bin/adminconsole ca:cl
• bin/adminconsole sulu:build dev
• bin/adminconsole sulu:webspaces:init
• bin/adminconsole sulu:content:validate:webspaces

But nothing helped. After some debugging I found out that the new webspace was initialized, but my admin user did not get the new permissions.

Looking in the database I found some entries still related to the old webspace key in the se_permissions table:

id	context	module	permissions	idRoles
8	sulu.webspaces..default-snippets	127	1
9	sulu.webspaces.	127	1
10	sulu.webspaces..analytics	127	1
11	sulu.webspaces..custom-urls	127	1

Is there a way to automatically update the permissions? Is it a bug in Sulu?

Answer 1

This is not a bug. Renaming a "webspace key" will lose all your connected data to it. Including that your role have permissionf for it.

Mostly a webspace key rename happens only on development.

If you have no data to loose you can go with (attention remove all existing data in your configured database):

bin/console sulu:build dev --destroy 

Else a new or renamed webspace need to be added to your user role that you can see it. Go to Settings -> User Roles and give your role permissions for your new webspace / renamed webspace.

If you change a webspace key of a production website you would normally need to create database migrations. So you are not losing any pages, permissions, ... or other things connected to the webspace key.
