Quick summary
I worked with a site owner today who had multiple user accounts on their site and they were saying that regardless of what account a video file was uploaded from, it always showed their username (the site owner) in the wp-admin meta data window (clicking edit in the wp-admin).
This seems to only affect AT sites and it also shows the site owner perform the action in the Activity log as well even though they did not upload the video from their account.
Steps to reproduce
- You'll need 2 WP accounts for this - Account A (site owner) and Account B (the invited user)
- On an AT site in account A add your other test account (Account B) as an admin to the site
- Accept the invite as Account B and login to WordPress and access Account A's site
- Upload a video the media library
- Once that is uploaded, click edit to see the file details
- You'll see the username linked to that upload is Account A even though you are logged in as Account B
- You can also visit Jetpack --> Activity log and it will show Account A uploaded the video
What you expected to happen
I expected the username to reflect the account username that performed the action.
What actually happened
The account username that is associated with the media uploads is always the site owner regardless of which user account performed the action.
