Having this in mind as we do permissions management work is good.

Jen was talking about work on this on Unicon's cooperative support call yesterday and I have been thinking about editable attributes on fragment components such as tabs, columns, portlets. These attributes are actually permissions but they aren't managed in the permission manager. The current interface allows you to set these permissions globally for all users of a fragment. Now that we have rethought the uPortal permission manager and made it more approachable, it seems to me that it might be useful to think of these permission attributes in the context of permission manger. When I look at it that way, it seems immediately clear that the admin should be able to assign these permissions by group rather than just globally across all users of a fragment. For example, group student can remove this portlet but group staff cannot. Perhaps, the permissions could even be administered via the permission manager rather than as another layout editing feature. I suppose this would have some serious implications inside DLM that might be too big for now. Do people think this is a good future direction as DLM itself is rearchitected?Susan -- Susan Bramhall ([email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>) Senior Developer, Infrastructure Systems and Architecture Yale University Information Technology Services (ITS) 25 Science Park, 150 Munson St, New Haven, CT 06520 Phone: 203 432 6697 -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/uportal-dev
