API: channels.list returns only joined channels

[himpich]

Description:

Trying to retrieve a full list of all channels (channels.list) lists only the channels the user (admin role) has joined (like channels.list.joined)

Server Setup Information:

• Version of Rocket.Chat Server: 0.59.1
• Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04
• Deployment Method(snap/docker/tar/etc): docker
• Number of Running Instances: 4
• DB Replicaset Oplog: Enabled
• Node Version: v4.8.4

Steps to Reproduce:

# Logging in
loginResult=$(curl -s $server/api/v1/login -d "username=$user&password=$pass")
authToken=$(echo $loginResult | sed 's/.*authToken\":\ \"//' | sed 's/\".*//')
userId=$(echo $loginResult | sed 's/.*userId\":\ \"//' | sed 's/\".*//')

curl -s -H "X-Auth-Token: $authToken" -H "X-User-Id: $userId" $server/api/v1/channels.list

Expected behavior:

To get a list of all public and private channels

Actual behavior:

I only get a list of channels the user $user has joined. The $user has the admin role.

Relevant logs:

no logfiles

I can see the same behaviour on Rocket Chat v0.59.2

Is this related to #8729 ?

[jgtoriginal]

@himpich according to the docs

api/v1/channels.list Retrives all of the channels from the server.
/api/v1/channels.list.joined Gets only the channels the calling user has joined.

So I'd assume that @Fab1en is right, this might be related to #8729

[himpich]

The User I am using has (only) the admin role. The admin role has all rights checked. I removed all checks and re-added them (according to #8729) - this did not change anything. The curl command still only returns the two joined channels and nothing else.

Can anyone confirm that he can get a full channel list via /api/v1/channels.list ?
(in order to check if it's something with my installation or a generic problem)

Edit: Removing the Permission "View Joined Room [view-joined-room]" actually helps. From my understanding (of english) this should mean: "Be able to view list of joined rooms" but actually it seems to do "list only joined rooms"?

[Fab1en]

@himpich I confirm that I the bug disappears when view-joined-room permission is unchecked. That helps a lot, thanks !

Now, that bug should be solved...

@himpich and @Fab1en, I think this PR solve the problem.

@himpich, @Fab1en, I'm closing this issue, because I believe this problem is solved. Please, if you can test with the newer version of rocket.chat. And if the problem persists, feel free to open new issue.
