Description
Summary:
GTEs are unable to create or save events via https://translate.wordpress.org/events/new/.
This issue affects multiple GTEs and persists despite attempts to resolve it via role reassignment.
Reported By:
- @vgnavada – GTE for Kannada (KN Locale)
- @mkrndmane – GTE for Marathi (MR Locale)
Issue Description:
While attempting to create a new event, all required details were filled out, but upon clicking Save Draft or Publish Event, the system redirects to an error page. Here’s a screenshot of the error page encountered:
Troubleshooting Attempted:
- The issue was reported in the Polyglots Slack Thread: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP50LK/p1743158591596949?thread_ts=1742899617.975409&cid=C02RP50LK.
- @tobifjellner removed and re-added the GTE roles in an attempt to resolve the issue.
- Despite this, the problem persists for both users.
Temporary Workaround:
Mr. @amieiro created the event on our behalf, and he was able to do so successfully. This suggests that the issue may be limited to certain GTE accounts or roles not being fully recognized by the system.
Request:
Kindly investigate the cause of this issue and help ensure that GTEs can independently create and manage their events without needing intervention from others.

Yes its issue with Meta sites. I too face this issue.

Originally filed on core.trac, but I migrated it here. I haven't looked into the issue.

On the priority for this, has this ever worked for GTEs? As far as I can tell, this might just be a broken permission check that has always existed, but would require a while to properly debug, and for now relying upon someone higher in Polyglots to set it up is not an unreasonable ask.

Yes one of GTE from Marathi Locale (@fitehal) had created event before.

I just tried creating new Event. it worked.

- Keywords reporter-feedback dev-feedback removed
- Priority changed from high to normal
Looking at https://github.com/WordPress/wporg-gp-translation-events/blob/a44e9c5781d98dfea62bb77bc27ffd5e5d22e345/includes/event/event-capabilities.php#L122-L140 and it seems like it's only intended to work for GlotPress admins by default. But there was https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13757 to open it up to all GTEs.

Replying to mkrndmane:
Yes, this is really strange. Some GTEs can create, but others can't, even though they have the same roles.
