André R.	Tuesday 25 May 2010 1:34:35 pm Greate article! But I didn't get the eZJSCore example, the whole point of hasAccessToLimitation() is to not have to deal with limitations yourself. Without limitations you can just as well use "$user->hasAccessTo( $module, $function )" and "fetch( 'user', 'has_access_to', ... )". phpdoc (1.1 and up): /** * Check access to a specific module/function with limitation values. * See eZ Publish documentation on more info on module, function and * limitation values. Example: a user can have content/read permissions * but it can be limited to a specific limitation like a section, a node * or node tree. 1.x limitation: returns false if one of provided values * don't match but ignores limitations not specified in $limitations. * * @param string $module * @param string $function * @param array\|null $limitations A hash of limitation keys and values * @param bool Lets you get some additional debug information if set to true, useful while developing. * @return bool */ public static function hasAccessToLimitation( $module, $function, $limitations = null, $debug = false ) http://svn.projects.ez.no/ezjscore/trunk/packages/ezjscore_extension/ezextension/ezjscore/autoloads/ezjscaccesstemplatefunctions.php eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
Gaetano Giunta	Friday 28 May 2010 12:23:28 am Great tutorial! One thing that is not universally known: you can set up a set of policies of which at least one has to be matched to give access to a view, as well as defining a set of policies all of which have to be matched: $ViewList = array( 'at_least_one' => array( 'functions' => array( 'func1 or func2' ) ), 'both' => array( 'functions' => array( 'func1', 'func2' ) ) ); $FunctionList = array( 'func1' => array(), 'func2' => array(), ); Principal Consultant International Business Member of the Community Project Board
H-Works Agency	Wednesday 24 November 2010 2:57:03 am Very valuable tut. But is there a way to implement access control for a whole module without having to insert hasAccessTo in every views ? Thanx in advance EZP is Great
Jérôme Vieilledent	Wednesday 24 November 2010 5:22:57 am If you want to implement the finest granularity of the access control, I guess not. You really need to check the limitations access in every views.
