[magnolia-dev] [JIRA] (MGNLUI-3200) Eric can edit & publish while Peter is powerless on apps without workflow

Tue, 28 Oct 2014 04:13:29 -0700

Granted:

  • Peter should not be able to initiate publication when workflow is installed for an app (same as 4.5, was the ground for SUPPORT-3625)

Problem:

  • Eric can edit and publish on standard content apps, while Peter cannot do anything really.
    • Ideally, Eric should edit only, and Peter should publish only (kind of manual workflow).
  • This would lead to inconsistencies between apps with workflow installed and standard content apps, e.g.:
    • As Eric: "Why is publish enabled in Pages (via workflow), but not in Assets (plain activation)?"
    • Vice-versa as Peter: "Why is publish disabled in Pages, but enabled in Assets?"
    • As whoever: "What is the meaning of the publish action?" (will it go straight to public or not)

This issue has to be solved on UX level first, before we implement some silly workaround.
We could maybe communicate the different semantics better between those two flavors of publication, through appropriate phrasing of the actions.

Side note:
The difference is not so much about CE vs. EE, but rather whether or not workflow is installed for that app.
