Did you mean: 

My customers can't navigate the portal anymore, only the jira-administrators are able to

Renan June 7, 2019

Hi everyone, I have an issue which has started a day or two ago, and I can't seem to find out why this is happening. I have not made any changes to this specific project that is faulty. IT was working as intended before.

  • Context:

My company's website has a direct link to one of my SD project's customer portal. (/servicedesk/customer/portal/4)

My customers can see the home portal, but when they try to navigate between the groups and the requests, jira is redirecting them to another portal, (/servicedesk/customer/portal/0) and then my customers get an error message (The Service Desk you are trying to view does not exist).

  • Facts and additional information:

 

- Customer permissions are correctly configured

- I am in the "jira-administrators" group and I can navigate normally. I don't get redirected to the /0/ portal.

- If I manually add them to the "jira-administrators" group, they are able to navigate the portal normally;

- I have "Extension for Jira Service Desk" but I have no group-specific rules configured for this project - or no rules whatsoever;

- Permission scheme is the same used in another project that is working just fine;

 

So far you would think, it must be something about permissions. I would agree with that, but then, the following fact wasn't supposed to work:

- If I give them a direct link to the request, they can open the form and submit a request normally; (/servicedesk/customer/portal/4/create/475)

- If they try to click on the request by themselves from the main portal, they get redirected to (/servicedesk/customer/portal/0/create/475) , getting an error message

Worth mentioning, this company hasn't done a reindex for quite some time. We have some heavy change management here, so it's kind of bureaucratic to perform a reindexation.

Hi Renan,

 

I am facing the same issue currently with JIRA 8.5.1 and ServiceDesk 4.5.1.

Only a couple of Portals are having this issue.

 

Did you find a solution for this?

OK, I just checked your hint regarding "Extensions for Jira ServiceDesk" and it seems that this addon is somehow doing the forwarding. By disabling it, it worked again. So I checked the permissions and they where fine. However I re-entered the visibilty permission and now this works too. From my point of view the permission index from "Extensions for Jira ServiceDesk" had an issue.

 

Cheers,

 

Matthias
