[heelc29]

Actual result

If you open home dashboard the "Welcome to Joomla!" tour starts
When click "Cancel" or "Hide Forever" an error appears (also when you try to finish the tour)

Console Error:
/administrator/index.php?option=com_guidedtours&task=ajax.fetchUserState&format=json&tid=12&sid=1&context=tour.skip

{
    "error": true,
    "code": 403,
    "message": "You don't have permission to access this. Please contact a website administrator if this is incorrect."
}

This error is also present if you try to cancel any other tour.

I can reproduce the problem. Looking into it.

It is a permission issue. We call the Ajax controller fetchUserState but the Manager is missing the Access Administration Interface permission for /administrator/index.php?option=com_guidedtours&task=ajax.fetchUserState&format=json&tid=12&sid=1&context=tour.skip to go through

I got the identical error message after logging in as Super User when I clicked Complete at the end of the Welcome Tour.

@dautrich Rolf, what was the error in the browser console?

[dautrich]

When I tried for the first time, I didn't have a look at the browser console (shame on me).
I deleted everything (db + directory) and started from scratch. But this time I didn't get any error. Strange!

Thanks, I am glad because it should not happen... But still concerning why it happened the first time.

I have created a fix. Please wait for PR. I created a Dispatcher for Guided Tours, none was provided.
