Blockstore: not authorized to access this page about blockstore HOT 3 CLOSED

@jpamdeth It actually sounds to me like you set things up correctly ("You are authenticated as edx").

What I think is happening is that your "edx" user doesn't have permission to access the Blockstore Django admin.

Accessing it is not really necessary to use blockstore, but if you'd like to fix that, run make blockstore-shell from the blockstore directory, and then in the blockstore shell, run ./manage.py shell and then these commands:

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
User = get_user_model()
User.objects.filter(username="edx").update(is_superuser=True, is_staff=True)

Whether you do that or not, you should still be able to use Blockstore. I think the setup instructions are missing some key steps to get Studio+LMS talking to blockstore though; you may need to run these commands from your devstack directory:

docker exec -t edx.devstack.blockstore bash -c "source ~/.bashrc && echo \"from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model; from rest_framework.authtoken.models import Token; User = get_user_model(); edxapp_user, _ = User.objects.get_or_create(username='edxapp'); Token.objects.get_or_create(user=edxapp_user, key='edxapp-insecure-devstack-key')\" | ./manage.py shell"

docker exec -t edx.devstack.lms bash -c "grep BLOCKSTORE_API_AUTH_TOKEN /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py || echo BLOCKSTORE_API_AUTH_TOKEN = \'edxapp-insecure-devstack-key\' >> /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py"

docker exec -t edx.devstack.lms bash -c "grep BLOCKSTORE_API_AUTH_TOKEN /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/cms/envs/private.py || echo BLOCKSTORE_API_AUTH_TOKEN = \'edxapp-insecure-devstack-key\' >> /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/cms/envs/private.py"

# Create a "collection" that all new content can be created within:
docker exec -t edx.devstack.blockstore bash -c "source ~/.bashrc && echo \"from blockstore.apps.bundles.models import Collection; coll, _ = Collection.objects.get_or_create(title='Content Collection', uuid='56789876-2111-4111-8111-123456789000')\" | ./manage.py shell"

make lms-restart studio-restart

Let me know how you make out and then we can update the README. Thanks!

@bradenmacdonald Thanks for the reply! The first docker exec command you listed ran without error but the second produced this:

devstack jessica.pamdeth$ docker exec -t edx.devstack.lms bash -c "grep BLOCKSTORE_API_AUTH_TOKEN /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py || echo BLOCKSTORE_API_AUTH_TOKEN = 'edxapp-insecure-devstack-key' >> /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py"
grep: /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py: No such file or directory
bash: /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py: No such file or directory

@jpamdeth Ah, ok, you'll need to create the file edx-platform/lms/envs/private.py (Just an empty file), then try again. Sorry for the oversight.
