Summary: Using $wgRevokePermissions doesn't revoke protection
permissions when the 'editprotected' permission is
assigned
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Page protection
AssignedTo: wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org
ReportedBy: wweraw...@hotmail.com
If a user group is given the 'editprotected' right, and then a specific
protection right is revoked, the revoking doesn't work.
For example:
$wgGroupPermissions['mygroup']['editprotected'] = true;
$wgRevokePermissions['mygroup']['mylevel'] = true;
I would expect that in this case, if a page was protected to the 'mylevel'
level, then the 'mygroup' group would not be able to edit that page. The actual
outcome is that revoking the 'mylevel' right has no affect.
In addition, if the 'mygroup' group also has the 'protect' permission, they can
unprotect the page to a lower level.
For example:
$wgGroupPermissions['mygroup']['protect'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['mygroup']['editprotected'] = true;
$wgGroupPermissions['mygroup']['someotherlevel'] = true;
$wgRevokePermissions['mygroup']['mylevel'] = true;
I would expect that in this case, if a page was protected to the 'mylevel'
level, then the 'mygroup' group would not be able to unprotect the page. The
actual outcome is that they can unprotect it, and/or change the protection
level to 'someotherlevel', which in my case is a lower level.
