Hi,
our GCs are reporting that they cannot delete certain pages from the siteadmin page. There is likely a correlation between the pages they cannot delete and those pages being possibly referenced elsewhere. Here is what we have tried so far to troubleshoot and reproduce the issue:
- Steps to reproduce
- Navigate to the desired to be deleted page in siteadmin
- Deactivate the page (optional)
- Select the page
- Click Delete from the toolbar at the top of the window
- Get the Delete Page dialog
- DO NOT Get the "One or more selected pages are referenced" warning
- Nothing happens.
- I can delete the pages as admin with administrator group role
- I can delete the pages while impersonating the affected users
- I can delete the pages when I configure my own non-admin personal user with the same group roles
- When I run through the same workflow as the affected user,
- I get two dialogs: Delete Page confirmation, and A warning that One or more selected pages are referenced.
- I'm allowed to proceed and force the deletion
- When the affected GC runs through the workflow,
- They get only the first dialog: Delete Page confirmation
- They get no option to force the deletion after selecting yes and nothing happens, nothing is deleted.
- There are no client-side javascript issues visible using the developer tools.
- The problem is reproduced in multiple browsers (Chrome and Firefox) for the affected user
- On the client browser, we get the following potentially relevant Network error:

- In the error logs, we get the following 3 lines

I'm at a loss trying to troubleshoot why this is not working for certain users. Any help or advice is appreciated and welcome. Thank you!
