Leader cannot unhide flagged post

Bug
1

Hi,

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

  1. Get another account to post something publicly or in a PM
  2. Let anyone flag the post (must be hidden)
  3. 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 have reproduced this on two Discourse forums on 2.8.0 beta 1

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_Rizzi are you working on that one?

I already fixed that one, but this seems unrelated. I’ll take a look tomorrow morning.

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.

I made a PR to hide the button the TL4s:

I assumed this is what we want to do, but I can change the guardian if we prefer to let leaders unhide posts.
