Brooding over a new Permission System
Christmas is over and the pimcore team starts into the new year with the old (and some new) energy and vigor.
It has been discussed several times and there were many feature requests regarding user permissions. Now the time has come: User permissions will be remodeled.With the next pimcore version we are planning to introduce a new permission system based on the classic approach of users, groups and roles. Users will no longer have all permissions by default. Permissions will have to be allocated to users. The same is true for new elements/nodes created. Users will not have all permissions on new elements by default. We still do not plan user permissions on field basis, but we aim at making user permission on element basis better configurable. This implies that a user can be a member of one or more groups. The administration interface will be redesigned completely and thereby shall perform better than the existing one. We set up a Forum Thread. Please let us know your thoughts, experiences and expectations towards a user permission system in pimcore while we are still brooding over that matter.
