No Image Button on Description Window for authors without global create permission

I know there is probably a simple solution for this, but I am having a hard time finding the answer.

Can someone please help me solve this simple problem?

When I go to write an article on the Front-End, the image button does not show. I've included a screen shot to show that the image button is missing.



However, when I go to the Administrator panel (the back-end), it shows the image button. Once again, here is a screen shot that shows the button.



Can someone please help me get the image button to show on the Front-end?

Please? I know this must have something to do with the permissions level, however, I can't find where it would give me the right permissions.

Thank you for any help you can give.

Hello

the image plugin is a core Joomla plugin
and it has ACL checks (permissions check)

i tested just now and i see that the "asset" on which permission are checked is NULL ...

i will check if this a Joomla bug or if something we need to change in our code

Hello

it is bug introduced with Joomla 3.7.0
we use
$editor->display(...) to create our description field, if we use an entry from XML this bug would not appear

this effect extensions that would create an HTML editor like the above

To get the workaround now
edit
plugins/flexicontent_fields/textarea/textarea.php

Find at about line 488
Replace with

You are right. It was a permissions problem.

What happened was that I created a new "User Group", and it set all the permissions to "Not Allowed".

So, I looked under the default "Author" group and copied all the same permissions to my new "User Group". That way all the default permissions you set under FLEXIContent for "Author" would be correct for my group too.

Here is a new screen shot showing the "Image" button showing up now.



I notice that you don't have the Image button enabled on your window too. Is there a reason for that?

You have it showing as an attachment, then you have to Insert. See the screen shot below.



That seems like a lot of extra work. Why don't you just have the image button? Is it a security thing?

Thanks again.

Oh, one more thing... you have to enable "Frontend Images and Links".

Hello

by default it appears to users that have "Create" item/article privilege

so you should not need to change add extra ACL privilges

-- being able to open submit form should be enough ACL

please apply the workaround i suggest above
the ACL check for plain authors is broken since J3.7.0
