    • Creating a Permission Descriptor

    Posted by aorgill posts: 4 ☆

    For my new "feature" I am wanting to create a new level of permissions that might be specific to this feature.

    Is there a management module for "creating" and admin'ing permissions (like tiki_p_foo)? Do you have to write directly to the SQL database (ie. hack it in)? Or is that a priviledge that is "reserved" by the keepers of the tiki code?

    Thanks for sharing,
    -alex

    If you plan to commit your new feature to tikiwiki 1.10/head, no problem. Add your new perm in db/tiki.sql and db/tiki-1.9to1.10.sql.
    You can also commit your new feature to the TikiMods and have a special db update.
    If you don't plan to commit your feature, you will have to update your database by yourself
    INSERT INTO users_permissions (permName, permDesc, level, type) VALUES ('tiki_p_xxx', 'xxx', 'xxx', 'your_feature');
    It is the only thing to do, the per;issions screens will be automatically updated
