Permissions Error when trying to switch contexts. Can the dropdown be hidden per user group? #138
Description
Summary
When logging in as a publisher who only has access to a specific context, the "Choose Context" dropdown remains visible, but throws an error when trying to use it (see screenshot)
Also noticed, when logged in as a member of this same Publisher Group, my updates to the configurations are not being reflected.
Step to reproduce
- Login as publisher
- Go to Extras > Configuration
- Click the "Choose Context" dropdown
Observed behavior
See screenshot above.
Expected behavior
The error makes sense, since the user does not have permission to access other contexts, but can this option be hidden from specific user groups/users altogether, so that they can never click on the dropdown and see the error?
Environment
ClientConfig 2.0.0, MODX 2.5.7, macOS Sierra

Sounds reasonable. So either the user should only be able to switch through contexts he has permissions for, or either if it's a restricted user, then don't show the dropdown altogether – are these considerable solutions?

Hm, I would expect in this case the context selector to still work, and be shown, but to only show the one context they have access to.
Can you check if your user has

Just stumbled upon something maybe related, wanted to note it here:
For correct context-access (listing) the user-group needs a "AdministratorTemplate" with
view_contexthere. I thought a "ContextTemplate"-access-policy withviewthere should be efficient, but it's not.
