Fixing File Manager Paths That Resolve to undefined/files Instead of assets/files
If managers other than the main admin suddenly see undefined media paths, the issue is usually a broken path variable or role-specific config branch after an update.
When non-admin manager users start getting file paths like undefined/files or undefined/images, the file manager is no longer resolving its base variables correctly. Because the issue often affects only some roles, it can easily look like a permissions problem when it is really a path-resolution bug.
What to check
- manager configuration values for file and image roots
- role-specific manager UI scripts or theme overrides
- broken placeholders introduced by a recent update
When the main admin account still works, compare its resolved configuration with a restricted manager account. That difference usually exposes the branch where the wrong variable is introduced.
