ReadonlyWikiPolicy

Permissions policy added in Trac 1.1.2 which enables and enforces the read-only attribute on wiki pages.

Earlier versions of Trac had a defect in which the read-only attribute would not be checked when adding attachments to wiki pages, allowing users with WIKI_MODIFY to add attachments to read-only wiki pages rather than enforcing the requirement of WIKI_ADMIN. In #11244, the ReadonlyWikiPolicy was added, which unequivocally requires WIKI_ADMIN for modifying, deleting or renaming for read-only pages (and adding an attachment requires permission to modify the page). Enforcing the read-only attribute through a permission policy additionally allows a custom permission policy to be written for enforcing the read-only attribute.

For new Trac installations in 1.1.2 and later, ReadonlyWikiPolicy is enabled by default. When upgrading from earlier versions, ReadonlyWikiPolicy need to be added to permission_policies. If the default list of permission policies is in effect, then ReadonlyWikiPolicy only needs to be added to the front of the list.

When other permission policies are active, care will need to be taken to ensure the proper ordering. See TracFineGrainedPermissions#ReadonlyWikiPolicy for more details.
