 Description   

Hello,

To reproduce:

Create a host group called "Hosts-Test" and template group called "Templates-Test".
Create an Admin user (not Super) with read/write permission to the template and host group created in step 1.
Login using the new Admin account.
Create two blank templates "A" and "B".
Add a blank dashboard to template "B".
Create a blank host "Host" and assign template "A".
Now try to export just template "A"
Try to clone template “A”.

in a result we would get HTTP 500, browser error:

chrome-error://chromewebdata/:1  POST http://localhost/zabbix.php?action=export.templates&format=yaml&backurl=zabbix.php%3Faction%3Dtemplates.list net::ERR_HTTP_RESPONSE_CODE_FAILURE 500 (Internal Server Error)
