TracFineGrainedPermissions
v23 v24 3 3 Before Trac 0.11, it was only possible to define fine-grained permissions checks on the repository browser sub-system. 4 4 5 Since 0.11, there's a general mechanism in place that allows custom permission policy pluginsto grant or deny any action on any kind of Trac resources, even at the level of specific versions of such resources.5 Since 0.11, there's a general mechanism in place that allows custom **permission policy plugins** to grant or deny any action on any kind of Trac resources, even at the level of specific versions of such resources. 6 6 7 Note that for Trac 0.12, `authz_policy` has been integrated in trunk branch as `tracopt.perm.authz_policy.*` (TODO: needs clarification what does it mean for a end user/administrator). 7 Note that for Trac 0.12, `authz_policy` has been integrated as an optional module (in `tracopt.perm.authz_policy.*`), so it's installed by default and can simply be activated via the //Plugins// panel in the Trac administration module. 8 8 9 9 10 == Permission Policies == 10 11 11 === !AuthzPolicy === 12 A great diversity of permission policies can be implemented, and Trac comes with a few examples. 12 13 13 An example policy based on an Authz-style system has been added. See 14 [trac:source:branches/0.11-stable/sample-plugins/permissions/authz_policy.py authz_policy.py] for details (current version requires >= Python 2.4). (See also [trac:source:branches/0.11-stable/sample-plugins/permissions sample-plugins/permissions] for more samples.) 14 Which policies are currently active is determined by a configuration setting in TracIni: 15 e.g. 16 {{{ 17 [trac] 18 permission_policies = AuthzSourcePolicy, DefaultPermissionPolicy, LegacyAttachmentPolicy 19 }}} 20 This lists the [#AuthzSourcePolicy] described below as the first policy, followed by the !DefaultPermissionPolicy which checks for the traditional coarse grained style permissions described in TracPermissions, and the !LegacyAttachmentPolicy which knows how to use the coarse grained permissions for checking the permissions available on attachments. 21 22 Among the possible optional choices, there is [#AuthzPolicy], a very generic permission policy, based on an Authz-style system. See 23 [trac:source:branches/0.12-stable/tracopt/perm/authz_policy.py authz_policy.py] for details. 24 25 Another popular permission policy [#AuthzSourcePolicy], re-implements the pre-0.12 support for checking fine-grained permissions limited to Subversion repositories in terms of the new system. 26 27 See also [trac:source:branches/0.12-stable/sample-plugins/permissions sample-plugins/permissions] for more examples. 28 29 30 === !AuthzPolicy === 15 31 16 32 - Install [http://www.voidspace.org.uk/python/configobj.html ConfigObj] (required). … … 69 85 70 86 71 === mod_authz_svn-like permission policy ===87 === !AuthzSourcePolicy (mod_authz_svn-like permission policy) === #AuthzSourcePolicy 72 88 73 At the time of this writing, the old fine grained permissions system from Trac 0.1 0 and before used for restricting access to the repository has not yetbeen converted to a permission policy component, but from the user point of view, this makes little if no difference.89 At the time of this writing, the old fine grained permissions system from Trac 0.11 and before used for restricting access to the repository has been converted to a permission policy component, but from the user point of view, this makes little if no difference. 74 90 75 91 That kind of fine-grained permission control needs a definition file, which is the one used by Subversion's mod_authz_svn. … … 144 160 For information about how to restrict access to entire projects in a multiple project environment see [trac:wiki:TracMultipleProjectsSVNAccess] 145 161 146 == Getting TracFineGrainedPermissions to work ==147 148 Don't forget to restart Trac engine to apply new configuration if you are running tracd standalone server.149 150 162 == Debugging permissions 151 163 In trac.ini set:
