"Illegal characters in path" in eCom admin

I have a bit of a strange problem in eCom in admin. 

When I try to expand a shop in admin with a specific user I get an "Illegal characters in path"-error. With the built in administror account this does not occur. 

I understand that it has to do something with the data but I don't understand what could be different when using to different users. There are not any specific permissions in that shop.

The stack trace:

Hi Aki

In the root of /Files/Cache.net you might have some *.permissions.xml files. Please delete these and see if that helps.

Hi Nicolai,

There were a bunch of *.permission.xml filers. Deleted them and logged in again. Unfortunately with the same result.

Try deleting all records from [EcomUserPermission] and [EcomUserPermissionType], delete the files from before and iisreset.

And also check your groupids - that you do not have ids like "--select<>###ยค@$...." and crap like that...

Hi,

I found groupsids containing '>' and '<'. Could that screw up eCommerce in admin? 

Works in frontend:

They probably could as they are HTML characters that could fuck up a lot of things...

Wonder how those ids was generated!

They come from the ERP system. Gonna assume that they are the problem and add some cleaning to the integration. 

Thanks for your help.

I tried to delete the tables and files you mentioned and did a iis reset. The error is still there so we are adding some cleaning to the groupimport. 

But I'm curious why it works when you are logged in as "administrator" but not wen logged in as an other user that as administor persmissions?

Hi Aki

You can try to enable the new permissions - that will disable all of that old code that uses the XML files. https://doc.dynamicweb.com/documentation-9/users/user-management/permissions
