We took this opportunity to refactor the way access is controlled on
media attachments. We now add the media key to a list on the document
instance each time a media is uploaded to a document. This list is
passed along when a document is duplicated, allowing us to grant
access to readers on the new document, even if they don't have or
lost access to the original document.
We also propose an option to reproduce the same access rights on the
duplicate document as what was in place on the original document.
This can be requested by passing the "with_accesses=true" option in
the query string.
The tricky point is that we need to extract attachment keys from the
existing documents and set them on the new "attachments" field that is
now used to track access rights on media files.
We choose to use Django-treebeard for its quality, performance and
stability. Adding tree structure to documents is as simple as
inheriting from the MP_Node class.
Link access was either public or private and was only allowing readers.
This commit makes link access more powerful:
- link reach can be private (users need to obtain specific access by
document's administrators), restricted (any authenticated user) or
public (anybody including anonymous users)
- link role can be reader or editor.
It is thus now possible to give editor access to an anonymous user or
any authenticated user.
We want to be able to share a document with a person even if this person
does not have an account in impress yet.
This code is ported from https://github.com/numerique-gouv/people.
We want to be able to control who can access a template via roles.
I added this feature on the TeamAccess model assuming that the teams
to which a user belongs can be retrieved via a `get_teams` method on
the user model. The idea is that this method will get the teams either
via a call to an external API or directly from the OIDC token upon
user login. This list of teams will probably have to be cached for
each user.
This project was copied and hacked to make a POC in a 2-day hackathon.
We need to clean and refactor things in order to get a first version
of the product we want.
