User is able to modify a workflow shared in read only mode

elkarel — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:43:20 GMT

Hello,

From a non-superuser accout, I created a workflow and I shared it with the group "visualization" in read only mode:

The super-user "admin" is member of the "visualization" group and "default" group only. As can be seen from above screenshot, the workflow is not shared with no other user/group.

But, I discovered that the user "admin" is able to edit and save the workflow without restrictions:

How is it possible that a user is able to edit a workflow when he should not be able to do so?

Thanks in advance

Hi Elkarel,

Good catch, it seems that Hue superuser indeed can edit the "Read" only sharing docs. Regular users do honor it. We will look into a proper improvement in the future.

Thanks,

Weixia

Hi,

ok I confirm that this really applies to the admin user (or I guess to every superuser). Other users cannot modify.

Thanks
