Add permissions for the tracker pages

Created on 6 April 2010, over 14 years ago

Problem/Motivation

There is no way of distinguish access permission of the tracker modules track tab. Currently the "access content" permission is used to access the track tab on the user page. The intention is to refine this.

Proposed resolution

The patch in #45 adds these three permissions:

  • access global tracker
  • access other user's tracker
  • access own tracker

Remaining tasks

The given patch has to be reviewed and tested by some more people to be able to be set RTBC.

User interface changes

Added permission on the administer permission page.

API changes

No changes.

Original report by gaellafond

Hi,

It seem that the tracker module in Drupal 6.16 core do not have any permissions handler. It only check if the user has access content or not. This patch add a access tracker and a access own tracker setting in the permission page.

In other words, this patch allow you to nicely disable the track tab.

NOTE: I added a special case denied access to user own tracker if the user has access to tracker but not to his own tracker. It seem odd to me to allow a user to see all other user's tracker but not his own, but I guess that's what you expect if u check the access tracker but not access own tracker.
