Hi Seth. I'm just back from a week off the grid, and trying to get caught up
on a mountain of electronic stuff. Here's my quick response. Please let me
know if more explanation is required.
If you want to allow a user to be able to edit views, you need to grant them
edit permission on GangliaAcl::ALL_VIEWS.
You can allow users to edit:
- All views.
$acl->allow( 'username', GangliaAcl::ALL_VIEWS, GangliaAcl::EDIT );
- Optional graphs for all clusters.
$acl->allow( 'username', GangliaAcl::ALL_CLUSTERS, GangliaAcl::EDIT );
- Optional graphs for an individual cluster.
$acl->allow( 'username', 'clustername', GangliaAcl::EDIT );
Editing views is not per-cluster permission because views can contain graphs
from many clusters. Currently, we only support a single 'edit' permission for
all views. (A user can either edit all views, or can edit none.) You can't
selectively grant edit permission on a single view. That restriction could
possible be lifted in the future if there is demand for it.
Hope that helps. As I said, please let me know if further explanation is
required.
