Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

This module was in development but is on hold until further notice.

Adds a permissions model onto relationships that can be used to grant CRUD permissions for nodes for a specific user by role or specifically for them. These permissions are for the child nodes of the node a user has a Relation with Permissions with.

Example

User <-> Event <-> Photo
               <-> ... (any other

                ^ Is media from
      ^ Is attending

Example explained

We might have a 'Event', for example, which people can attend. We have a organizer (User(s)) and and attenders (Users). The relation between them and the event is 'is attending'.

All attending people will be able to add new 'Photo'(s) to the 'Event' when they are attending the 'Event'. We create a relation type 'is media from' to relate photo's (or anything else) to a 'Event'.

We add the Relation Permissions field to the relation type 'is
attending'.

Based on the relation User <-> Event we know that there can be permissions to add Photos to the event. The Relation Permissions gathers this information and allows to define role permissions per relation type. On a per relation basis (User <-> Event) a role can be assigned. Or it is possible to override the role and assign specific permissions for the relation.

Task to complete

  • Manage roles per Relation Type (70%)
  • Node Access (0%)
  • Manage relation Roles (0%)
  • Manage permission overrides (0%)
  • Entity Access (0%)

Dependecies

  • Relation
  • CTools (dev) !IMPORTANT
  • Entity

This is still a sandbox module and heavily in development. Don't use on PRODUCTION sites. There will be no support when things go wrong.
