    Hi!
    I'm using MODX Revolution 2.3.5
    I created custom user group (and user in it), custom access policy, resource group and make settings according to MODx documentation.
    When I logged with that user and trying create new document I have following error:.
    Changing Resource Group Access and Context policy to standart MODx "Administrator" policy helps, but these policy has too many permissions and not suitable for me.
    The qestion is:
    how can I find out what permission this action "system/derivatives/getList" needs?

    P.S. I`m trying research MODx source files but it's overhelming without deep undestanding of architecture of MOdx...

    This question has been answered by multiple community members. See the first response.

      I always end up making a copy of the Administrator policy, then start unchecking things I don't want. One thing that can cause that error is that the user needs to have the class_map permission checked.

        Susan is correct (as usual).

        All the MODX processors are in core\model\modx\processors\, so the one you need to look at is: core\model\modx\processors\system\derivatives\getlist.class.php.

        Here's the relevant code:

        public function checkPermissions() {
   return $this->modx->hasPermission('class_map');
}

          Thanks Bob, that's just what I need smiley Actually I found this place too, but may be I confused with testing permission effect in different browser and flushing permissions...
