Re: [EP-tech] User Roles for Admin Screen Tab

CAUTION: This e-mail originated outside the University of Southampton.

Hi all, I sent this yesterday from my uni address but it hasn't made
it through to the list yet, so I'm trying again from home:

Hi James,

Forgive my rambling, I’m working through deep memories as I write:

If I recall correctly, user_roles.pl by default defines two config items:

1. $c->{user_roles}, which associates a list of tokens with each role.
Those tokens (things like “edit-own-record” or “staff-view”) are each
an alias for a list of specific actions defined in $PRIVMAP in
EPrints/DataObj/User.pm (“staff-view” has things like
“eprint/inbox/view”, “eprint/search/staff”, etc.)
And each one of those specific actions is asserted in the code using a
check like:

$user->allow( "eprint/search/staff" );
#OR
$user->allow("eprint/inbox/view", $eprint);

2. $c->{roles} to define new repo-specific tokens/actions; for example
in our repo we have:

$c->{roles}->{indexer} = [qw{ indexer/stop indexer/start indexer/force_start }];
# AND
$c->{user_roles}->{repo_manager} = [qw{ … indexer … }];

So working at it from the bottom up:

* in your screen plugin you’d have a test for: $user->allow("config/aam_update")
* in your $c->{roles} you’d define a new hat like:
$c->{roles}->{aam-update} = [qw{ config/aam_update }];
* in your $c->{user_roles} you’d do something like:
push(@{$c->{user_roles}->{admin}}, "aam-update");
(depending on your version of Perl, you might want to leave out that @{} )

Does that help?

Cheers
