Testing Webform in Drupal 8, I've found something strange when trying to get the list of the available webforms that a user can create.
My test environment: I've created a role, a user that belongs to that role and 3 webforms. In the "Access" tab of each of the webforms I've unchecked "Anonymous user" and "Authenticated User" and allowed access only to "Administrator" in 2 of the webforms. In the last one, I gave "create" access to my specific role.
Then, for testing purposes I created a rest service with the following code:
public function get() { // Load all the available entities $entities = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('webform')->loadMultiple(NULL); // Check the access of the current user to each of the entities $forms = array(); foreach( $entities as $entity_id => $entity ) { $forms[] = array( "$entity_id" => $entity->access('create', NULL) ); } return new ModifiedResourceResponse($forms); } I expected to get:
[{"webform1":false},{"webform2":false},{"webform3":true}] But I get:
[{"webform1":false},{"webform2":false},{"webform3":false}] In fact, I returned the $entity object as JSON and I found that the entity references the following permissions: "create", "view_any", "update_any", "delete_any", "purge_any", "view_own", "update_own", "delete_own". If I expand the tree, then I can see that inside the "create" permission of my webform3 entity, the permissions are properly referenced (Object->access->create->Roles->My Role is present only in the last form).
But the ->access('create') function is always returning false. The same goes for "view_any" and the other permissions. The only permission that returns true for all the forms is "view".
Is there any way that I can do this? :
$entities = \Drupal::entityTypeManager()->getStorage('webform')->loadMultiple(NULL); $forms = array(); foreach( $entities as $entity_id => $entity ) { if( $entity->access('create', NULL) ) { $forms[] = $entityid; } } return new ModifiedResourceResponse($forms); Thanks and best regards.
