The module attempts to obey content_translation_translate_access() but it does not

Created on 24 February 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

In \Drupal\inline_translation\EntityOperations::isSupported() we do:

    // 4. Check access.
    if (!content_translation_translate_access($entity)) {
      return FALSE;
    }

content_translation_translate_access($entity) will never evaluate to false because it returns an object.

Proposed resolution

Change it to

    // 4. Check access.
    if (!content_translation_translate_access($entity)->isAllowed()) {
      return FALSE;
    }

and add a test.

Fortunately we're at alpha so not this does not require a security release.

    I'm also wondering if this is a feature :) Like allows a user to translate an entity if they have edit access but doesn't give them access to the rest of the translation UI. Maybe we need a new permission that is allows people to use the inline translation stuff even without the normal content translation permissions. This opens a can of worms around naming though....

    "Use inline translation form even when you don't have the usual translation permissions" is a horrible permission name :D

    The alternative is to completely remove the check and add documentation that because this makes translation inline we don't check the regular content translation permissions and only access to the edit form is needed.
