    Description

      If we have a readonly user, with these userroles (similar as in CMS-14599):

      • xm.cms.user - Required to login and use the CMS application
      • xm.channel.viewer - Allows viewing channels through role channel-viewer; implies xm.webfiles.reader
      • xm.content.viewer - Allows viewing content through role readonly

      then viewing an xpage in the Experience Manager does not show the Channel and Page menus, because the XHR call to org.hippoecm.hst.pagecomposer.jaxrs.services.ComponentResource#getActionsAndStates returns a 403.

      It returns a 403 because the method is checked for privilege ChannelManagerPrivileges.XPAGE_REQUIRED_PRIVILEGE_NAME = "hippo:author" however this user only has jcr:read.

      See

      Reproduction path
      On cms.demo.onehippo.com, create an xpage as admin, create a user with above userroles and view the xpage.
      Also reproducible on 14.6 archetype.

      Suggested fix

      • Change the @PrivilegesAllowed on ComponentResource#getActionsAndStates to have jcr:read since it's a GET. Maybe also for other GET methods using XPAGE_REQUIRED_PRIVILEGE_NAME.
      • Account for workflow not being available: tweaking the roles in configuration came up with a NullPointerException at XPageContextFactory:74 (workflow.listBranches() call)
