Observed behavior

When a Kolibri Studio admin uses the administration pages to manage a channel or a user, such as to promote a user to an Admin (Add admin privileges), they're unable to do so using the the ACTIONS menu on the administration channel and user pages (see screenshot).

• For the channel page, the following do not seem to work: 'Make public', 'Delete channel'
• For the user page, none of the actions seem to work

Channel page	User page

Errors and logs

No console errors were observed.

Expected behavior

All of the actions menu on either of the administration pages should perform those actions as expected

User-facing consequences

An admin is not able to manage channels or users appropriately. Although, there is a workaround to mange these from the list page, where the actions do appear to be working correctly.

Steps to reproduce

These instructions are for a development environment.

For the channel actions

1. Sign in as a@a.com
2. Click the user menu in the upper right that reads 'Admin'
3. Click 'Administration'
4. Click on 'Imported Channel'
5. Click on ACTIONS in the upper right
6. Click 'Make public'
7. Observe no reaction other than the menu closing

For the user actions

1. Sign in as a@a.com
2. Click the user menu in the upper right that reads 'Admin'
3. Click 'Administration'
4. Click the 'USERS' tab
5. Click on 'User A'
6. Click on ACTIONS in the upper right
7. Click 'Add admin privileges'
8. After they've applied click 'Remove admin privileges'
9. Observe no change

Context

Hi, @bjester @MisRob I would like to take this up. I have read the guidelines.

Hi @bjester , confirmed this is happening on the latest build.

Since there are no console errors, it seems like the click events on the dropdown items in the user/channel detail views aren't being caught, or the handlers are failing silently. It’s likely a disconnect between the dropdown component and the parent container that's specific to these pages.

I suspect we just need to re-bind the action methods in the Vue component for the particular view. @sharma-anushka , if you aren't already working on a fix, I’d be happy to take this on as I'm familiar with this part of the codebase.
