This Roundup issue tracker (https://issues.roundup-tracker.org) does 
not allow a user to change their email address.  I attempted to change 
my email on the "Your Details" page from tmikk@users.sourceforge.net to 
tmikk@umn.edu and received a permission error.

Hi Tonu,
thanks for reporting!

The problem you see is a side effect of #2551027 (wiki outgoing email
does not work on sourceforge when running own wiki). And handled there.
Therefore I am closing here.

Regards,
Bernhard

Hi Bern:

I am confused. How does lack of email on the wiki translate into
this problem.

This issue is failing to be able to change the email entry in the user object of the tracker. The tracker is running on psf/digital ocean gear and can obviously send email (since we get the update notifications).

Hi John, Hi Tonu,

sorry about this, I was thinking wiki.
(A mistake I've made because I have a number of settings where we use
the roundup account for the wiki.)

This issue seems to be duplicate of issue2550903

Users who are members of the "user" and the
"developer" class are still not permitted to change
some of their attributes: email, alternate email addresses
and organisation. However editing the timezone seems to work.

Best regards, 
Peter Funk

What I wrote in my last email was not completely correct:
I just tested: I was able to edit the alternate email addresses
field.  What I was unable to do was swap the main email address
with one of the alternate email addresses in my user record of
this tracker here.

Best regards,
Peter Funk

Peter, is this the workflow that you used?

  1) remove the email address that you want to use as your
     primary address from alternate addresses. Commit the change
  2) change the primary email address to the one you removed in 1
     and commit the change.

Bascially create two separate transactions rather than trying to do it
a single transaction.

Do you get a failure at 1, or 2 or does it work?

Just tried again.

step 1 worked fine.

The "permission denied" exception (you are not allowed to edit entries
of class "user" or as I see it in German:
Sie sind nicht berechtigt, Einträge der Klasse "user" zu bearbeiten )
happens in step 2.

The same exception happens if I try to enter the name of my company
into the field labeled "Organisation".

I see that you changed the sequence of my roles on March 15th from
User,Developer to Developer,User.  I don't believe that the sequence 
of roles matters.

I believe that neither the members of the roles "Developer" or "User"
are allowed to change/edit the attributes primary address and organisation
of their own record in this tracker instance data base.

Many thanks that you spend your time to have a look into this issue.

Best regards, Peter Funk

Peter, I just changed your roles from Developer,User to User,Developer. 
Can you try changing your address again and see if it works?

Thanks.

Good mornung John,

No. It didn't.  
As I mentioned in msg6660 the order of roles does not matter.
I believe the problem is/was located in website/issues/schema.py
but I'm unable to figure it out.  May be a fresh cup of tea might help?
I dunno.

I think this is fixed. Tonu and Peter can you try changing your 
settings again.

Here is the joke:

It worked for me! I was able to change my email address!  Thank you!

Tonu, glad that fixed it for you. If Peter agrees, I'll close these 
tickets.

I have already checked the change into the source so it won't get lost.

Thank you, John.
Yes, I agree: I fine with cloing this issue now.
Best regards, Peter.
