We had faced a missleading warning message when we used website_sale in couple with portal.

To reproduce the environment.

• install website_sale and portal
• create a new user
• set it as a sale manager
• add it in the portal group
• go to sale menu and create a new article
• set a name (only required field) and save it.

You should have a double error message with a validateError and an AccessError

This message let us think we had issue with UoM validation and/or read access to product.template.

After hours, we just discovered the issue came from an access rule set in portal group [('website_published', '=', True), ("sale_ok", "=", True)]

If the same process is done but you hit the published button (in sale page), the product.template is created properly.

We were largely misguided by the warning message and I wanted to share the knowledge to save hours to other developers.

Do you know any other cases the warning message misslead you?
