Umbraco Forms Entries not shown in Backoffice

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 8

For some unknown reason the umbraco forms entries are not shown in the backoffice. The entries are saved and shown on the overview.

I also tried a vanilla installation of the latest U8 + Forms Version, same result. Storing forms in file system or database makes also no difference.

In U7 this worked fine and there should be an entries folder below each form, showing the records, as stated here: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Add-ons/UmbracoForms/Editor/Viewing-and-Exporting-Entries/

I even tried going through the url to the entries: "/Umbraco/forms/form/entries/[formguid]" but then I get a red popup exception "Access denied: You do not have access to view this form's entries.", even that I'm the admin account with sensitive data, so that can't be the real issue.

Anyone experiencing the same with a vanilla installation?

Thanks.

Ok, I found something out. If a new user logs in and goes to the forms tab it creates a new record in the table "UFUserSecurity" and it looks like this:

The column value for "ViewEntries" is false. I don't know the reason for that as in UmbracoForms.config I use the default values:
```
<setting key="ManageSecurityWithUserGroups" value="False" />
<setting key="GrantAccessToNewFormsForUserGroups" value="admin,editor" />
<setting key="DefaultUserAccessToNewForms" value="Grant" />
```
Is there a reason for that, or is it a bug? After setting this value to true manually in the database, the entries are shown in the backoffice.

Adding to Alex's answer, these ViewEntries and EditEntries can also be changed from the Umbraco Backoffice.

Go in the backoffice to Users => Forms Security. Here you have different checkmarks per user for Manage Forms, View Entries, Edit Entries and so on.

Thanks @JarnoVWA for that tip.

Strange is that it only affects the super admin (id -1), having those settings by default deactivated. The Edit Entries is even disabled. I don't know the reason why.
