Topic admin actions wrench showing to non staff users

AI-generated summary

Users reported that the topic admin actions wrench icon, intended for staff only, was visible to non-staff users across desktop and mobile devices, including iPhone 13 Pro on Chrome ondrej, Firepup650, Arkshine, mysz, and HamMan2118. Clicking it opened a blank modal or displayed placeholder lines, indicating it had no functionality for non-staff. Firepup650 suspected the issue stemmed from a recent commit, which was later confirmed by jancernik, who acknowledged the oversight and deployed a fix in commit ff8e1f4. JammyDodger consolidated reports under this topic as the main bug report, and Lilly praised the quick resolution. The issue appeared to be Meta-specific at the time of reporting.

As you can see in the image below, the topic admin actions wrench is visible to non staff users. Nothing comes of it when pressed just shows some lines but obviously I’m not meant to see it.

The topic wrench on mobile attached to the post counter opens a blank modal for me:


Not sure if this should be in Contribute > Bug or Contribute > UX, and I’m not sure if it’s a Meta-only issue or not.

Sorry for the oversight! We recently updated the admin menu and this slipped through the cracks.
It should be fixed now:
