GroupContact/delete call failed: "edit groups" permission required

    Details

    • Documentation Required?:
      None

      Description

      1) Login as a user without "CiviCRM: edit groups" permission, but with "edit contacts" permissions etc.
      2) Open a contact and click on the "groups" tab: there you see the contact's group memberships, where you can remove/delete these memberships.
      3) Clicking Remove or Delete fails with an error message: "Error API permission check failed for GroupContact/delete call; insufficient permission: require access CiviCRM and edit groups"
      4) Alternatively search all members of the group, select the contact and remove it from the group via "action -> remove contact from groups" => it works.

      The "CiviCRM edit groups" permission should allow users to add/remove/edit groups themselves, but should not affect permissions to add/remove contacts from groups.
