Any comments? I know there are a few people out there with a far more sophisticated user permissions system in mind. However, I think this one is doable fairly quickly, and is conceptually a simple extension to the current permissions system. -MH ----- Forwarded message from scoop-bugs at lists.kuro5hin.org ----- From: scoop-bugs at lists.kuro5hin.org Subject: [Scoop-bugs] [Bug 157] New: permissions should be able to be given or denied on a per-user basis Date: Sat, 22 Jan 2005 20:21:16 -0800 To: Scoop-bugs at lists.kuro5hin.org http://bugz.mostly-harmless.ca/show_bug.cgi?id=157 Summary: permissions should be able to be given or denied on a per-user basis Product: Scoop Version: cvs-STABLE Platform: All OS/Version: other Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Users AssignedTo: jeremy at satanosphere.com ReportedBy: mike at mostly-harmless.ca QAContact: Scoop-bugs at lists.kuro5hin.org with the new UserPrefs patch from janra, it seems like it would be pretty easy to add two new UserPrefs that would contain a list of the perms that a particular user was allowed or denied (in addition to their regular permissions as dictated by their user group). the perms code would then have to be changed to take these two prefs into account. So, rather than creating a special group like 'UsersNoRate', the deny_perm userpref for that user would contain the perm comment_rate. Likewise, instead of creating "TrustableUsers", the allow_perm userpref for that user could contain the perms bypass_safe_mode, upload_user and super_mojo (or whatever other variants are desired) ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Scoop-bugs mailing list Scoop-bugs at lists.kuro5hin.org http://lists.kuro5hin.org/mailman/listinfo/scoop-bugs ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Michael Bain | One day I want to look through three hundred mike at mostly-harmless.ca| thousand kilometres of space and say: GPG-ID: 0xA30A5493 | "My isn't there a beautiful Earth out tonight!" -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
