| | 3 | This was the first system of fine-grained permission for Trac, restricted to the version control modules (see TracFineGrainedPermissions#mod_authz_svn-likepermissionpolicy). |
| | 4 | It is used together with the Subversion version control backend and is based on interpreting the authz svn access file in a way that should match the Subversion behavior. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | However, there are a number of known issues: |
| | 7 | [[TicketQuery(keywords=~authz,status=!closed,col=summary|keywords|version|milestone,format=table)]] |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | Triage note: the above list is based on matches for the `authz` keyword and therefore contains a few false positive ones (tickets related to the AuthzPolicyPlugin). This should be fixed and svn authz tickets should have the `svnauthz` keyword. |
| | 10 | |
| | 11 | The plan is to simplify the version control modules so that they don't rely on a special system of authorization but rather use the general fine-grained permission system. The existing !SubversionAuthorizer should then be turned into a permission policy plugin (see ticket:5640#comment:19). |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | Ideally this should be done for [milestone:0.12], otherwise we'll be stuck with this for yet another cycle. |
