App store seems to let non-editor users submit updates but it should not

Nowlan Freese added a comment - 25/Mar/24 2:06 PM My testing of the IGB App submission process: I signed in as nowlan.freese@gmail.com I went to the submit page and submitted via URL with: https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/snp-file-converter/downloads/23andMe-snp-converter-10.0.0.jar I click Next and then see the Good news! page I click submit, but am directed to a page that says: "You are not authorized to add releases, because you are not an editor" I then receive the igbappstore email stating that my app has been successfully submitted If I repeat the same process using an uploaded jar file the outcome is the same I then sign out of nowlan.freese and sign in as "admin" I navigate to the pending apps page but I see no pending apps I navigate to https://apps.bioviz.org/admin/submit_app/apppending/ and I see my app is pending I delete the pending app as admin I then submit the app using the url https://bitbucket.org/lorainelab/snp-file-converter/downloads/23andMe-snp-converter-10.0.0.jar as Admin My app is successfully released

Nowlan Freese added a comment - 26/Mar/24 1:04 PM Because my user is not the original user who submitted the app (I was submitting new versions), it would make sense that I would not be allowed to release the new app. However, I would expect that the app would then be in the pending apps page such that an admin could approve it. It is possible if I had not clicked submit it would have been in the pending apps page? Will need to test this.
