parameterized users/groups/memberships permissions setting for EPP 5. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: GTNPORTAL-1528 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/GTNPORTAL-1528 Project: GateIn Portal Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Reporter: Gary Hu In EPP 5, there are many places that need to specify the permission settings for different users, groups and memberships. For example, the admin group setting *:/platform/administrators is referenced by gatein and eXo WCM in many places. It would be a neater approach if we could use some parameterized setting so that if we need to make a change we just need to modify one place. It's much easier for the user to find/replace the settings. Here is the proposal. We can define some key/value type properties and add them to the $EPP5_HOME/server/$PROFILE/conf/gatein/configuration.properties file: gatein.user.owner=root gatein.group.admin=*:/platform/administrators gatein.group.user=*:/platform/users gatein.group.guest=*:/platform/guests gatein.group.webcontributor=*:/platform/web-contributors gatein.membership.author=author gatein.membership.publisher=publisher gatein.membership.manager=manager gatein.membership.member=member And the various gatein and sitepublisher files would then reference them doing something like this: ${gatein.group.admin} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
