[opencms-dev] permission flags

[Alexander Kandzior]

Olli is right,
 
here's the story with the flags:
 
R: R is read. If you are unable to read you are never able to do anything
else with a file, like viewing it. This is hard coded in the system core.
 
W: W is write. This covers file content, attributes and properties, but not
permissions (see C below).
 
V: V is View. This is basically an optional flag. Talking OpenCms 6, you can
decide in your application if you want this or not by selecting the
approriate org.opencms.file.CmsResourceFilter. The workplace, as one
application, uses this flag. If a user has "R" permission but not "V", he
will be able to read the file, but not see it displayed in the workplace.
 
C: C is Control. This is the permission to change the permissions. If you
have W but not C, you can change all the content but not give other user
write permissions. Thinking about it, we probably never tested what happnes
if you have C but not W.
 
D: D is Direct Publish. This is a new feature in OpenCms 6 that allows an
Admin to gice a user "direct publish" permissions (mostly) on a folder,
without the need to create an individual project that contains only the
folder.  

Best Regards,
Alex.

I cannot claim that I would be specialist on this topic, but the result you
got does make sense in my mind. In my mind R flag should take priority over
V flag, so if you set on V the resource won't be visible because you don't
have access to read it?

Hi Olli

 

Well, I don't agree with you. When I created resource dog.html and gave user
Mike either View or Read permission  to that resource he could not see it in
OpenCms. I had to have both - R and V permissions in order to be able to see
dog.html in OpenCms.

v flag is to make resource visible on the workplace.

Hello

 

What is a difference between Read and View permission? I can't see any.

What is the permission Control for?

 

 

Marek
