Description Michael S. 2017-07-05 18:33:45 UTC
In 16.11.05.000

If a user has permissions to run - but not create or edit reports - they can still create or edit reports by editing the the URL while running a report and changing the Phase parameter to "Edit SQL" or "Create report from SQL".
Comment 1 Josef Moravec 2017-07-10 11:27:40 UTC
I could confirm that on master too, raising importance...
Comment 2 David Cook 2017-07-27 01:51:41 UTC
Doesn't surprise me. There are many parts of Koha where the permission restricts viewing a link or a button, but doesn't apply to the actual web page itself :/.
Comment 3 David Cook 2017-07-27 01:54:06 UTC
Also reproduced it. Let's see if I can fix this quickly...

Bug 18898 - Some permissions for Reports can be bypassed

If you manually visit the following links when you only have
permission to run reports, you'll still be able to access the ability
to create and edit reports:

/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl?phase=Create%20report%20from%20SQL
/cgi-bin/koha/reports/guided_reports.pl?phase=Edit%20SQL

This patch ties these 2 unaccounted for phases to the create_reports
permission.
