Hello,

I think I’ve run into a peculiar bug that I can’t wrap my head around. I’ll note in advance this is a fresh EE 2.9.0 installation with no third party modules and that this error is occurring as a Super Admin in the Control Panel.

I noticed that when attempting to post into a channel with a Grid Field Type that I get the following error:

“You are not authorized to perform this action”

This error only occurs when there are rows in the Grid Field for the new Channel post; meaning if I don’t add any rows, the post is successful and once I add a row, it fails. I tried with multiple columns (multiple fields per row) or just a single column (single field); neither attempt worked. I also tried to see if it had to do with specific field types in the Grid, but that didn’t fix the problem either when I tried different ones.

I tried fiddling with some of the security settings, like whether it was using Session or Cookies only; that didn’t seem to fix it. I also disabled the requirement to have an IP and User Agent data, that failed to fix it as well.

Any thoughts? I’m sure I can fix it myself by taking a look at the files directly if it’s a genuine bug, but I was hoping someone here can elucidate so that wasn’t necessary (e.g. I’m hoping it’s a minor oversight and didn’t require me to hack at anything).

Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Getting the same error here with 2.9 after upgrading from 2.8.1…

EDIT: Turns out if you replace the grid fieldtype with the 2.8.1 version it fixes this bug, if you need it working asap.

Thanks Simple; will try that until a permanent fix comes up as it sounds like a minor bug with 2.9. I appreciate it.

Damn it, knew i should have waited till .1!

We definitely don’t recommend doing this. Instead you should take a look at this bug report for instructions on a fix.

@Wes:

Thank you! I can confirm that fix works.

@Wes:

That solution does not work. It brings another errors as you can see in the comments on the FIX page.

I am still getting these errors on EE 2.9.2.

Specifically when I use the MX_Cloner.  If I clone an entry that has a grid field I cannot save the sentry as I keep getting the authorize error.

New entries seem to work fine.

Updating MX Cloner to 1.2.7 seems to fix the error
