Permissions issue

Hello,

I have been tinkering with the Bricolage permissions, and have noticed
something funny. This is the procedure I followed:

1) As admin I include a user in a "Media manager" group, whose members
are able to publish (create, edit...) media.
2) I log in as this user and create a media asset.
3) Again as admin I remove this user from the "Media manager" group. Now
she is just a plain Contributor. She is just able to create and edit
stories.
4) I log again in as this user, and see that she is able to see and even
delete the a.m. media asset.

It looks like the user is still the "owner" of the media asset, although
she hasn't actually got privileges to deal with this kind of assets now.
Is this the intended bahevior?

Thanks in advance for your hints.

Michael

Hi Michael,

Yes, this is expected. Once a user has an asset checked out, she is free
to edit or delete it. The changed permissions will prevent her from
publishing the asset, and from checking it out again once she checks it
in, and from creating any additional media assets.

See Bric::Security (several times, if necessary) for more. Permissions
can be tough to understand. Also, see Phillip's screencast:

Best,

Bret

Hi Bret,

you're spending your Saturday replying to my questions :-) Thanks for
the clarification. I've read Bric::Security but missed the finer points.
It's about time to re-read.

Best,

Michael
