Question

Problem: when WebLeftBarWebsList invokes %WEBLIST for the site admin, all webs show. But when it invokes it for a web which has restricted access, but for which the logged-in user is in the group to whom access is assigned, the web does not show up in the %WEBLIST for that user. (The user does have proper access if going directly to the URL for that web, and it is blocked properly for those not logged in.) The restricted web does have Set SITEMAPLIST = on (although it was initially off as the web was created). It also has Set NOSEARCHALL = off.

Is this a bug, or a feature whose use is obscure to me? Would it require modification to WebLeftBarWebsList, or somewhere deeper in the code, to get the wanted functionality? I would like any web with SITEMAPLIST = on to which a user has read access to display in their %WEBLIST.

Additional notes: The restricted web does show in the SiteMap list, and does show in %WEBLIST just when the user with access is within the restricted web. It is only when the user is in other webs, including the main one, that it is absent from the %WEBLIST.

I've also read through HowToEditSidebarVariables, but didn't find an answer applicable to this.

I have the same problem. If you logon as a user you cant see the specific web in the sidebar.

I had the exact same problem. Just remove the "Set NOSEARCHALL = off" completly from WebPreferences to make it work. The web will only be shown to users with the corresponding rights.
