Analyze Wiki permissons leads to error

Whilst analyzing Wiki permissions as Super Admin, I receive this error.

Code:

Error: Call to a member function toArray() on null in src/addons/vw/vw/XF/Admin/Controller/Permission.php at line 205

Fixed this error in the next release. This error occurs if you attempt to analyze Area Permissions when choosing the wiki index or omitting the area you want to analyze.

I should note that Analyze Permissions does not show file-type or widget permissions, so it will probably not be helpful for you right now. We should probably add that to the results. However, since attachments can't even be uploaded inside the index (they must be inside an area), this analyze result probably wouldn't be too helpful either.

Sorry to say that but the permission system is complete non-transparent.
Why do the Area permissions not inherit the standard permissions? What do I need permissions per attachment?

My attachment permissions are ok but it seems that the area permissions differ from standard permissions.
This makes no sense at all. For my opinion is it far too complicated.

You can have standard permissions for a usergroup that affects the whole wiki. Areas DO inherit the standard permissions. But you can also override those permissions in a specific area. It is possible that you have custom permissions in one area that you didn't remember.

When I have trouble finding custom permissions, I like to use AdminCP > Wiki > Permissions > User access masks, and start a mask for the user in the affected area. The mask tells me the starting permissions the user has and where they are inherited from. However, this technique can be inaccurate sometimes and we are working on improving it.
