Created on 12 August 2025, 2 months ago

If a user doesn't have the use ai ckeditor permission, but does have permission to use an input/editor format it is configured for, the CKEditor toolbar disappears for that input format, and a JS error is logged:

 ReferenceError: ViewModel is not defined
    at d.init (aickeditor.js

Steps to reproduce (required for bugs, but not feature requests)

Enable CKEditor AI
Configure the AI assistant for an input format that the user will have access to
Do not grant the use ai ckeditor permission to the user's role
Visit a node add or edit page, select the above input format, and note the JS error and the toolbar is not present.

Proposed resolution

Better error handling in the JS.
