A bug has been reported where a Leader (TL4) cannot unhide a flagged post, despite having the option to do so in the admin interface. ondrej detailed the issue, noting that the ‘Unhide’ action fails even though it appears available. codinghorror suggested a possible connection to another bug involving flag counts for TL4 users, but Roman clarified that the issue is unrelated. Roman identified that the PostGuardian currently restricts unhide permissions to staff only, while the client incorrectly allows TL4s to see the option. A PR has been submitted to hide the button for TL4s, though the team may reconsider whether leaders should be allowed to unhide posts.
I noticed this today so I am unsure if it has been like this before.
Basically TL4 (Leader) on the post admin wrench has the option to unhide a flagged post however when a post is flagged and they press ‘Unhide’ it does not work.
Steps to repro
Get another account to post something publicly or in a PM
Let anyone flag the post (must be hidden)
Ask a user with TL4 only to unhide the post
Expected result:
The flagged post will be restored
Actual result:
The TL4 user has the option to unhide post but it does not unhide the post when clicked
I think this might be related to the existing bug we have at the moment where flag counts are showing for TL4 users, but should not be. @Roman are you working on that one?
It looks like this bug is quite old. According to our PostGuardian, only staff members can unhide posts but the client checks if the user is staff or TL4.
