If you have a file upload field on a webform, the user that submitted the file can not view his/her own file.

I found that the only way to allow the user to view his/her uploaded file is to give the permissions "view any webform submission".

Is this intended behaviour?

I can't reproduce this issue using the below steps....

  • Add 'File' element to Contact form. ((/admin/structure/webform/manage/contact/elements)
  • Goto Access tab (/admin/structure/webform/manage/contact/handlers)
  • Set 'VIEW OWN WEBFORM SUBMISSIONS' to desired role or user
  • Login as user with 'VIEW OWN WEBFORM SUBMISSIONS'
  • Submit 'Contact' form with a file (form/contact)
  • View previous submissions (/webform/contact/submissions)
  • Confirm that uploaded file is accessible.

Notes

  • Anonymous users can never access private file uploads
  • 'View own submissions' and most submission access controls are currently only form specific permissions.
  • Maybe there needs to be more help about managing Webform and submission permissions.

Indeed it works as you describe.

Coming from webforms on Drupal 7 I expected the permission "view own submissions" to be on the general permission page, not on a tab within the webform itself.
A small reference on the general permission "view any webform submission" would indeed be very helpful!

Yep, someone could write a very helpful and populate blog post that documents the difference between Webform for D7 and D8.

Below is a screenshot of the notes that I added to the permissions page.
