Georg Franz	Saturday 28 February 2004 5:19:28 am Hi, I try to start again a discussion about the role system after digging in the code of ez 3.4-alpha1. Example: I create a role "registered user". The registered user should -) create forum messages in section a -) create link entries in section b So I created two policies. The "registered user" can't create a link entry in section b, because the checkAccess-method of ezcontentobject always returns "not allowed". (It checks only the first policy and break after that.) If I made one policy instead of two -) create forum messages / link entries in section a, b it works. But in that case it's also possible for the user to create a link entry in section a which I want to prevent. So I don't know if it's a bug or a feature. If you have many content classes & sections it's more user friendly to create a policy for each content class. Kind regards, Emil.

Hi,

I try to start again a discussion about the role system after digging in the code of ez 3.4-alpha1.

Example:

I create a role "registered user".

The registered user should
-) create forum messages in section a
-) create link entries in section b

So I created two policies.

The "registered user" can't create a link entry in section b, because the checkAccess-method of ezcontentobject always returns "not allowed". (It checks only the first policy and break after that.)

If I made one policy instead of two
-) create forum messages / link entries in section a, b

it works. But in that case it's also possible for the user to create a link entry in section a which I want to prevent.

So I don't know if it's a bug or a feature.

If you have many content classes & sections it's more user friendly to create a policy for each content class.

Kind regards,
Emil.

Best wishes,
Georg.
