Freshly cloned web2py, grid example says "not authorized"

[BigBaaadBob]

I just now cloned (recursive) the web2py distro, started it, and clicked on the "grid example" button in the welcome application. I then registered when asked to authenticate. I got redirected back to the welcome app index page. I then click on the "grid example" button again and I get "Not authorized, insufficient privileges".

Should this work out-of-the-box?

Hello! You need to comment decorator #@auth.requires_membership('admin') or add your user in 'admin' group see chapter 9 Access Control in The book.

Also set table name, forexample:

tablename = 'auth_user'

Yes, thanks. I’m just surprised this doesn’t work In the Welcome application out of the box. I’m not writing a new application; I’m just clicking on the buttons provided in unchanged freshly cloned code.

Yes, I got bitten by this too. My opinion is that this decorator (and others like it) should start commented out. These little obstacles can make those first weeks unnecessarily harder.
