[feature request] separation of right "change password&

Post by mario »

Hello.
we use s9y as a shift-log (a journal for shift-related information).
We'd like our users to look after their passwords themselves.
BUT, we don't like them touch other personalConfiguration-settings.
Would it be difficult to implement?
Best regards.

Hi!

Why wouldn't you want to give them personalConfiguration settings? I don'T see what else they could change there that's sensitive.

But, you could easiy write an event plugin with your own custom page where people can just alter their password.

This wouldn't be difficult, but I can't do it, since I really don't see a need for it, I'm sorry.

Best regards,
Garvin

Hi Garvin.
this is not really a matter of sensitivity, of course.
BUT, in a productive environment I will allow 170 users (buoyancy) as much flexibility as needed and NOT as much as possible.
For instance, as I'm not sure about all the consequences when enabling WYSIWYG, so why take the risk.
We're absolutely aware of not (yet) beeing your typical clientele, but perhaps it's interesting for you to see the possibilities.

Hi!

What you could do is to edit your include/tpl/config_personal.inc.php file. There you see the use pf "personalConfiguratioN" for most of the items; you could replace that with "siteConfiguration" so that only admins with that privlege could change those settings. So you only leave the password intact as a field with permission "personalConfiguration"?

Regards,
Garvin
