Hi Guys,

In my setup the editors are only allowed to remove the objects from the public website, I have not given any permission regarding moving of the objects as it is a separate policy. But I can see "Move" button working in the website tool bar. Are they (move and remove) both linked to each other.

My Policy

content

remove

Class( Article )

Output

can_remove true

can_move true

can_move_from true

Why can_move and can_move_from showing true.... I dont want to allow users to move the objects.

Is it a bug or Am I missing anything?

Cheers,

John Smith

Hi John,

Is there another policy for the editors for content/remove? Other than the one specific for the Article class?

Cheers Robin,

Yes, there are few others like

content edit Class (Article)

content create Class (Article)

content remove Class (Article)

There is nothing regarding move, still getting Move Icon in the website toolbar.

Hope someone can help me.... Quite interesting nobody else has noticed it. I check the policies on demo website set up by ez.no, same thing happening there.

Just read the following in eZ publish Website Interface User Guide that "When you remove content, you are actually moving it to the trash container." Does this means REMOVE policy will automatically activate MOVE button.

Yeah.

Checking the code, function canMoveFrom of eZContentObject looks like

if ( !isset( $this->Permissions['can_move_from'] ) )
{
   $this->Permissions['can_move_from'] = $this->checkAccess( 'edit' ) && $this->checkAccess( 'remove' );
}
return ( $this->Permissions['can_move_from'] == 1 );

so, it seems so. move depends on edit and remove access. if thess two policies are activated for your user (as they do) the user will get access to move function.

Cheers Carlos,

Quite disappointing. This means I cannot stop my users/editor to move the objects from the public website by using website toolbar?

If they got the permissions to edit and remove, then will automatically move the objects...

Anyone from eZcrew can clarify the situation. Definately want to stop moving functionality.

Much appreciated.

This also depends on the user having create access for the class in question for the target location he selects, so the logic is probably that "why limit move operation when the user can create content, copy'paste the text and so on, and delete the old content".

Not 100% sure though, this was made before my time here.

Cheers Andre,

It only happens when you give remove permissions. Worth thinking about in further versions. Is there hack by which I can achieve my requirement?
