This article discusses the issue, where performance is negatively impacted by using Admin roles with role scope restricted by website.
Affected products and versions
- Magento Commerce 2.2.x, 2.3.x
- Magento Commerce Cloud 2.2.x, 2.3.x
Issue
When an Admin user, with the role scope restricted by website, performs operations in the Admin panel (including logging in, saving products and so on), Magento rebuilds the stored cache. Rebuilding the cache negatively impacts performance and can lead to a site outage, especially during business and/or high-traffic hours.
The issue is fixed in Magento Commerce 2.2.10 and 2.3.3.
Solution
Following are the options to avoid the issue:
- Upgrade the Magento application version to 2.2.10 or 2.3.3. (for instructions, see the Upgrade Magento version (Commerce Cloud) Magento DevDocs article).
- Avoid restricting Admin user role scope by website, if possible.
- Submit a Magento Support ticket, to request a patch, if it is available.
