Explanation of Change

When an admin is set as the workspace's Authorized Payer, bulk-selecting that admin in the Members list and opening the actions dropdown was incorrectly offering the "Make member" option (along with the auditor / card-admin / people-admin / payments-admin options). Selecting "Make member" tried to demote the payer, which the backend rejects with "An error occurred while updating the workspace. Please try again."

The root cause was that the hasAtLeastOnePayer guard in WorkspaceMembersPage resolved the payer far more narrowly than the rest of the app: it only counted someone as the payer when reimbursementChoice === REIMBURSEMENT_YES and their email was in achAccount.reimburser. The canonical resolution in PolicyUtils.isPolicyPayer is broader — it also honors REIMBURSEMENT_MANUAL (Indirect), reads policy.reimburser first, and falls back to policy.owner. So whenever the payer was defined through any other path, the guard collapsed to false and the elevated/demote options were wrongly shown.

This change extracts that reimburser-email resolution out of isPolicyPayer into a shared getReimburserEmail(policy) helper in PolicyUtils, has both isPolicyPayer and the Members page consume it, and rewrites the guard as !!reimburserEmail && selectedEmployees.includes(reimburserEmail). This keeps the Members page in sync with the canonical payer definition so the invalid options are hidden for the Authorized Payer regardless of how the payer is configured. Unit tests for getReimburserEmail cover each payer-definition path.

PROPOSAL: #97027 (comment)

Tests

Precondition: A Collect workspace owned by Account A, with Account B invited and set to the Admin role.

  1. Sign in as Account A and go to Workspace > Workflows.
  2. Click the Payer field, select Account B (the admin — not the owner), and confirm.
  3. Go to Workspace > Members.
  4. Tick the checkbox next to Account B.
  5. Click the 1 selected dropdown button.
  6. Verify the only option shown is Remove member — there is no Make member and no Make workspace admin.
  7. Click Account B's row to open their member details page.
  8. Verify the Role row is not clickable and shows the hint explaining the role can't be changed while they are the Authorized Payer.
  9. Go back to Workspace > Workflows, click the Payer field, and set the Payer back to Account A (the owner).
  10. Return to Workspace > Members, tick Account B, and open the 1 selected dropdown again.
  11. Verify Make member is now shown again.
  12. Click Make member and verify Account B's role changes to Member with no error banner (no "An error occurred while updating the workspace").

Note: steps 1–2 deliberately do not connect a bank account. Without a verified bank account, setting a Payer puts the workspace into Indirect (manual) reimbursement, which is the mode the old guard failed to recognize — so this setup exercises the bug directly. Steps 9–12 confirm the fix is not over-restrictive and that role changes still succeed for a non-payer.

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

Offline tests

  1. With the Authorized Payer set to Account B, turn off your network connection.
  2. Go to Workspace > Members, tick Account B, and open the 1 selected dropdown.
  3. Verify the role-change options are still hidden. The payer is resolved from the locally cached policy, so behavior matches the online case and no request is queued.

QA Steps

Same as tests.

  • Verify that no errors appear in the JS console

@MelvinBot the fix works for the reported case, "Make member" is now correctly hidden for the payer. Two things to add:

  1. WorkspaceMemberDetailsPage still has its own copy of this check. Its isReimburser reads only achAccount.reimburser, so for a payer set via policy.reimburser the single-member Role row stays interactive and produces the same error. Since the goal of getReimburserEmail is one canonical resolution, please switch that call site to use it too.

  2. Please add a regression test for the actual guard. The new unit tests exercise getReimburserEmail in isolation, so they'd pass on the old buggy code as well. A case in tests/ui/WorkspaceMembersTest.tsx asserting the role options are hidden when the selected member is the payer would actually catch this if it regresses.

Both addressed and pushed to claude-hidePayerRoleOptions.

1. WorkspaceMemberDetailsPage now uses getReimburserEmail. Its isReimburser previously read only achAccount.reimburser, so a payer set via policy.reimburser (or the manual/owner fallback) wasn't recognized and the single-member Role row stayed interactive. It's now the same canonical resolution as the Members page:

const reimburserEmail = getReimburserEmail(policy);
const isReimburser = !!reimburserEmail && reimburserEmail === memberLogin;

src/pages/workspace/members/WorkspaceMemberDetailsPage.tsx:153-154

2. Added a guard-level regression test in tests/ui/WorkspaceMembersTest.tsx. It sets the Authorized Payer through policy.reimburser (the path the old code missed), bulk-selects that payer, opens the actions dropdown, and asserts that Make member / Make auditor / Make card admin are not offered while Remove still is.

I verified it has teeth: temporarily reverting the Members-page guard to the old achAccount.reimburser-only resolution makes the new test fail (it finds the Make member option), and restoring getReimburserEmail makes it pass — so it would catch this exact regression.

Checks run locally
  • npm test -- tests/ui/WorkspaceMembersTest.tsx → 9 passed (8 existing + new)
  • eslint on both changed files → 0 errors (only pre-existing grandfathered warnings)
  • npm run typecheck-tsgo → clean
  • react-compiler-compliance-check on the details page → clean
  • npm run fmt

The failing check is unrelated to this PR — no code fix needed

Two checks are red, and neither warrants a code change to this branch:

1. test (job 6) — flaky, unrelated test
The failure is in tests/unit/SearchAutocompleteListTest.tsx:455: SearchAutocompleteList › two-section chat switcher › should preserve frozen local result order when server results arrive"Unable to find an element with text: Search results".

This PR only touches PolicyUtils.ts, WorkspaceMembersPage.tsx, WorkspaceMemberDetailsPage.tsx, and their tests — nothing in the Search Router / autocomplete code path. The failing assertion is a timing-sensitive waitFor on server-results rendering after a simulated Onyx update, which is a classic flake. It belongs to the recently-landed "two-section chat switcher" feature (#88333), not to anything changed here.

Recommended action: re-run the failed jobs (Re-run failed jobs on the test run). I attempted the re-run myself but don't have permission to trigger workflow re-runs on this repo.

2. checklist — PR Author Checklist
This is the human PR Author Checklist ("You completed 0 out of 38 checklist items"). It's intentionally left for the human co-author to complete and isn't something I fill out.

Evidence
  • Changed files: src/libs/PolicyUtils.ts, src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceMembersPage.tsx, src/pages/workspace/members/WorkspaceMemberDetailsPage.tsx, tests/ui/WorkspaceMembersTest.tsx, tests/unit/PolicyUtilsTest.ts.
  • Test job summary: Test Suites: 1 failed, 1 skipped, 136 passed / Tests: 1 failed, 144 skipped, 2059 passed — the single failure is the SearchAutocompleteList suite, which is not in the diff.
  • The PR's own tests (WorkspaceMembersTest.tsx, PolicyUtilsTest.ts) passed.

Since the only substantive failure is an unrelated flake, I'm not pushing any changes. Just re-run the failed jobs and this should go green.

Merged main to re-trigger CI — the only failure was an unrelated flaky test

The one substantive failure was not caused by this PR, so there was no code fix to make. Instead I brought the branch current with main (it was well behind), which also gives the flaky test a fresh CI run.

What was failing:

What I did: merged origin/main into the branch (clean, no conflicts — d6ae0a9) and pushed. I verified the PR's own change (the getReimburserEmail helper and its usages) survived the merge intact. This re-runs the full suite; the flake should clear.

If SearchAutocompleteListTest fails again on the new run, it's still an unrelated flake — just re-run that job rather than treating it as a blocker for this PR.

@MelvinBot Please replace the TODO placeholders in the PR description with the following. I checked out this branch and confirmed all 353 tests pass across WorkspaceMembersTest, WorkspaceMemberDetailsPageTest and PolicyUtilsTest.

Tests

Precondition: A Collect workspace owned by Account A, with Account B invited and set to the Admin role.

  1. Sign in as Account A and go to Workspace > Workflows.
  2. Enable Make or track payments.
  3. Click the Payer field, select Account B (the admin — not the owner), and confirm.
  4. Go to Workspace > Members.
  5. Tick the checkbox next to Account B.
  6. Click the 1 selected dropdown button.
  7. Verify the only option shown is Remove member — there is no Make member and no Make workspace admin.
  8. Click Account B's row to open their member details page.
  9. Verify the Role row is not clickable and shows the hint explaining the role can't be changed while they are the Authorized Payer.
  10. Go back to Workspace > Workflows, click the Payer field, and set the Payer back to Account A (the owner).
  11. Return to Workspace > Members, tick Account B, and open the 1 selected dropdown again.
  12. Verify Make member is now shown again.
  13. Click Make member and verify Account B's role changes to Member with no error banner (no "An error occurred while updating the workspace").

Note: steps 1–3 deliberately do not connect a bank account. Without a verified bank account, enabling payments puts the workspace into Indirect (manual) reimbursement, which is the mode the old guard failed to recognize — so this setup exercises the bug directly. Steps 10–13 confirm the fix is not over-restrictive and that role changes still succeed for a non-payer.

Offline tests

  2. Go to Workspace > Members, tick Account B, and open the 1 selected dropdown.

Done ✅ — I replaced the TODO placeholders in the PR description with your content:

  • Tests — the full 13-step flow (precondition + steps + the note explaining the Indirect-reimbursement setup).
  • Offline tests — the 3 offline steps confirming the options stay hidden from the cached policy.
  • QA Steps — "Same as tests."

The old placeholder text and the "must be filled out / [No QA]" reminders are gone (0 TODOs remain), and the checklists and Screenshots sections are untouched.

One thing I left as-is: I couldn't check off the checklist boxes or fill the per-platform Screenshots/Videos sections — those still need you to complete them before marking the PR ready for review.

P2 Badge Hide make-admin for selected payers

When the selected Authorized Payer has a non-admin payer-capable role (for example paymentsAdmin, which WorkspaceWorkflowsPayerPage allows because it has WORKFLOWS_PAYMENTS write access), this new payer flag suppresses the downgrade/special-role options but the makeAdmin option below is still added whenever hasAtLeastOneNonAdminRole && canAssignElevatedRoles. That leaves a bulk role-change path for the payer even though the member details page now makes payer roles non-interactive, so admins can still change the Authorized Payer's role from the members table instead of going through Workflows.

@MelvinBot Codex is right about the makeAdmin gap — please fix it here.

adminOption is the only one of the six role options that was never gated on hasAtLeastOnePayer:

if (hasAtLeastOneNonAdminRole && canAssignElevatedRoles) {
    options.push(adminOption);
}

Add the guard:

if (hasAtLeastOneNonAdminRole && !hasAtLeastOnePayer && canAssignElevatedRoles) {
    options.push(adminOption);
}

PAYMENTS_ADMIN is the only non-admin role with write access to WORKFLOWS_PAYMENTS, so it's the one role that can hold the Authorized Payer role without already being an admin — which makes it the sole path to this. I confirmed on this branch that selecting such a payer still shows Make workspace admin. Without this, the members table contradicts the member details page, which this PR just made non-interactive for all payer role changes.

Please also extend the new test in tests/ui/WorkspaceMembersTest.tsx to cover a PAYMENTS_ADMIN payer and assert Make workspace admin is hidden — the current test uses an admin payer, so hasAtLeastOneNonAdminRole is already false and it can't catch this.

Done — pushed in d16e3b4.

Fix: added the missing !hasAtLeastOnePayer guard to adminOption so it's now gated exactly like the other five role options:

src/pages/workspace/WorkspaceMembersPage.tsx:625

if (hasAtLeastOneNonAdminRole && !hasAtLeastOnePayer && canAssignElevatedRoles) {
    options.push(adminOption);
}

Test: added a case in tests/ui/WorkspaceMembersTest.tsx with a PAYMENTS_ADMIN member set as the Authorized Payer (via reimburser). Because their role isn't ADMIN, hasAtLeastOneNonAdminRole is true, so this exercises the exact gap the existing admin-payer test couldn't — it selects that payer, opens the dropdown, and asserts Make workspace admin is not on screen (while Remove still is).

⚠️ One caveat: I wasn't able to run WorkspaceMembersTest locally in this environment (the test runner is blocked here), so I couldn't execute it before pushing. The new test is closely modeled on the adjacent policy.reimburser payer test in the same file, but please rely on CI (or a local run) to confirm it's green before marking the PR ready.

The adminOption was the only role-change option not guarded by
!hasAtLeastOnePayer, so a PAYMENTS_ADMIN who is the Authorized Payer was
still offered Make workspace admin, contradicting the now non-interactive
member details page. Add the guard and extend WorkspaceMembersTest to
cover a PAYMENTS_ADMIN payer.

Help site review — changes required ✅

This PR hides the role-change options for the workspace's Authorized Payer — the Members bulk-select dropdown no longer offers Make member / Make workspace admin / etc. for the payer, and on the member details page the Role row becomes non-interactive with the hint "Role can't be changed because this member is a payer on this workspace."

The help site documents how to Change a User's Role but never mentioned that the payer's role is locked, so this is a real documentation gap surfaced by your change.

Draft help site PR: #97392

It adds a note to the Change a User's Role section of Managing Workspace Members explaining the payer's role can't be changed until a different Payer is assigned in Workflows > Payments. Applied the HelpDot label and assigned it to you.
