DRAFT SP-7340 Admin users can see site tabs when site visibility is false

Symptoms

After upgrading an environment, Admin users cannot see site pages after site visibility is set to false. 

This is inconsistent with non-upgraded environments as Admin users can see site pages with site visibility set to false. 

Cause

This is expected behavior. Site visibility applies to system administrators on new environments. 

This feature was introduced via AN-128790 in Appian 20.4.600.0 and 21.1.275.0

Action

Upgrade all environments to the latest version of Appian. 

Workaround

To remove the inconsistency, the following feature toggle can be enabled through custom.properties on non-upgraded environments. This will cause site visibility to be applied to system administrators. 

sitePageVisibilityAppliedToSysAdmin.enabled=true

Affected Versions

This article applies to Appian 21.1.260.0 and earlier and 20.4.585.0 and earlier.
