I added a new permission (using JBDeni's Add Permission MOD) and renamed it from $mem (Member) to $siteadmin so that it can be a subset of $admin -- I need the new permission to:
1 - Allow a superuser to add/modify/delete users at their location (client site)
2 - NOT allow the superuser to see the Admin users (if else on list ?)
3 - Allow superuser to grant permissions for only those applicable to that location (client site)
4 - Admin would set which permissions the superuser can grant to users it sets up.
Here's where I'm at:
Add permission mod successfully incorporated and modified so that it is $siteadmin
New line added in html_pl sub html_footer: (to print option if user is a siteadmin)
print qq!| <A HREF="$db_script_link_url&site_admin_display=1">Site Admin</A> ! if ($per_siteadmin)
In DB.CGI, I cloned sub admin_display and renamed the clone to sub site_admin_display
In HTML.PL, I cloned sub html_admin_display and renamed the clone to sub html_site_admin_display
Now I have the Admin doing all the normal Admin functions, and the Site_Admin ready to modify to limit what they can do.
This is where I need help....
? Will an if else statement be enough or even work to modify what users (eliminating any user that has full admin rights) appear in the user list for the site_admin?
? and will an if else statement be enough or even work to limit the permissions that the site_admin can assign to users?
This makes sense logically to me, but I don't know the code well enough to see any pitfalls or any other places that I need to make modifications? I have searched for $perm and changed the names so that "Member" appears as Site Admin and "Admin appears as "Corp Admin"
Any expert advise would be very helpful to me right now! Thanks!
