Admins see all channel collections in their account

[bjester]

Observed behavior

When signed in as an admin, all channel collections from all users are visible.

Expected behavior

We limit this display to only those collections created by the user. We can add a collections browser in the admin if it's needed.

User-facing consequences

Increases the chance of accidentally editing some else's collection

@bjester @rtibbles i would like to work on this issue , if it is open for contribtion

[bjester]

@GarvitSinghal47 Thank you for your interest. Yes this is open for contribution, and I think it's more straightforward than #1830 if you want to tackle this first. The default account when you run studio in development, a@a.com, should be an admin. You can use the other users to set up this scenario for fixing it.

Hey @bjester 👋, I'm excited to jump into this issue and get it sorted out. Could you please assign it to me? Also, quick question: once I resolve the default admin account scenario, should I only focus on fixing it, or do we need to create another collection place to display all collections as mentioned in the message? Let me know!

[GarvitSinghal47]

Just wanted to double-check if I've got the issue right: it seems like the problem occurs when fetching collections for the first time, and after a user creates a collection, it disappears upon refreshing. Is that an accurate understanding of the issue? Let me know so I can dive in and tackle this! 😊

That doesn't sound like the issue, no.

The issue is that when an admin is logged in, they see everyone's collections not just their own, which makes the collections feature not very useful for admins.

The video I've shared depicts the admin side, where a collection created by users is disappearing. It's important to note that the disappearance is occurring for collections generated by users, not those created by the admin.

I believe the issue described in the message is the same. I apologize for any lack of clarity in my earlier communication.

@GarvitSinghal47 That seems weird that some collections are disappearing, so yes nothing should disappear but rather show what should be expected-- the logged in user's collections.
