UI Usage statistics only available to administrators after 7.5 upgrade

[Agustina Martinez-Garcia]

Hi,

After the upgrade from 7.4 to 7.5, we are not able to see in the UI the usage statistics via the statistics paths, e.g. https://demo7.dspace.org/statistics, unless we are logged in as administrators.

We haven't changed any of the previous settings:

#Backend

usage-statistics.authorization.admin.usage = false

In the backend logs we always see: org.dspace.app.rest.exception.DSpaceApiExceptionControllerAdvice @ Authentication is required (status:401 exception: Access is denied at: org.springframework.security.access.vote.AffirmativeBased.decide(AffirmativeBased.java:73))

Is anybody else experiencing similar issues?

Best,

Agustina

In case others ever experience something similar: I have found our issue, which was down to having accidentally deleted from the resourcepolicy table the row that granted was granting anonymous read permissions on the site object. I have restored this row and I can confirm that the configuration settings are working as expected and we can now see the statistics menus for our public collections and items.

Best,

Agustina
