Error: Editing not allowed (ACL problem)

[ggeorgg]

Steps to reproduce the issue

I just updated my Joomla Version from 3.6.0 to 3.6.1 to 3.6.2.
I have set up user group "leichtathletik" before who's parent group is "author".
I have put this group into the user access level "special" an created a category also called "leichtathletik" so that this user group is only able to create and edit articles in this category.
Before these updates to Joomla 3.6.2 all worked fine but now (without changing anything else) users which are in the group "leichtathletik" are not able to edit their articles anymore and an error message is displayed. However they are still able to create articles under this category.

System information (as much as possible)

Database: MySQLi
Joomla 3.6.2
PHP 7 CGI

Error Message when trying to edit an article which was created a minute ago by the same test user:

Category Settings for leichtathletik

Usergroup leichtathletik as child of author:

leichtathletik in user level special:

Have there been changes in the recent updates that could affect these settings?
Can I provide more informations?

Kind regards
Georg

Probably you have this issue:

Allow Edit after Soft deny is no longer possible (always denied) for backend articles manager

#11463

Some articles are correctly listable as editable but when clicking on them you get a deny message like the one that you posted.

There will probably be some fix in J3.6.3, you may test the PR that i will make or someone else will make for the issue

[ggppdk]

I have made a PR #11511 to fix the issue

you may test it,
please do not consider it a final fix or anything
it is just there for testing

Fix works for me. Thanks a lot!
