>>> [!note] Migrated issue <!-- Drupal.org comment --> <!-- Migrated from issue #2355963. --> Reported by: [zooney](https://www.drupal.org/user/281712) >>> <p>I've found that attempting to add a piece of content to a book after initially saving it causes and unexpected "Access Denied" error.</p> <p>The bug arises from the following steps:</p> <p>1.) Create a piece of content that can potentially be added to a Book (but don't add it to a book) and save it.<br> 2.) Edit the piece of content from step 1. and on the edit form select "&lt;create new book&gt;" on the Book Outline tab and save.<br> 3.) Log out and visit the content (or visit the content in another browser in which you are not logged in) and you will see the "Access Denied" page.</p> <p>This only seems to occur when you add the content to a book after saving it initially. Going into the Book Access tab afterwards and clicking "Save Configuration" corrects the problem.</p> <p>What I've found by examining the problem is that the node_access table isn't being properly updated in this scenario, but I can't figure out why.</p> <p>What I've found is that the node_access table only gets the record for the book_access_author realm, and the book_access_role realm items never seem to get generated.</p> <p><del>My guess is that something is going wrong in BookAccess::writeGrantRecords, but I can't figure it out. The call to node_access_write_grants isn't functioning properly.</del></p> <p>Having users click "Save Configuration" on the Book Access tab is a workaround for the problem, but it it causing some confusion.</p> <p>Can I get any help in figuring out what's going wrong here? Thanks in advance.</p> <p>EDIT: I've found that the problem is actually caused by a problem in book_access_node_update and BookAccess::addRoleGrants. </p> <p>In book_access_node_update, the name for the variables storing the default role access weren't being generated properly and the $grants array being passed to the BookAccess::addRoleGrants wasn't formatted properly. Also, the check in BookAccess::addRoleGrants needed to make sure that the array indices were actually set before attempting to reference a value.</p> <p>I've added a patch that seems to clear it up. I'd be grateful if someone could test it out.</p>
