Virtual ticket permissons

See also PrivateTicketsPlugin

Notes

Creates a set of virtual permissions for tickets that the user is associated with.

There are three main permissions for this plugin: TICKET_IS_REPORTER, TICKET_IS_CC, and TICKET_IS_OWNER. TICKET_IS_SELF is an alias for all three of these.

With each permission, users will be granted the permissions where they are the person mentioned in the permission. So if a user has TICKET_IS_REPORTER, they can only get the permisson for ticket they reported. For TICKET_IS_CC, they just have to be included in the CC list.

There are also group-based permissions: TICKET_IS_REPORTER_GROUP, TICKET_IS_CC_GROUP, and TICKET_IS_OWNER_GROUP. These work in a similar way to their non-group counterparts, except that you are granted the permission if you share a group with the target user. For example, if ticket 1 was reported by Allan, and Allan and Bob are both in the group company_foo, and Bob has TICKET_IS_REPORTER_GROUP, then Bob will get the permission for ticket 1 since he shares a group with the reporter. Each group-based permission is also an alias for the normal one, so you do not have to grant both. TICKET_IS_GROUP is an alias for all the group-based permissions (and therefore all the normal ones as well).

Finally, users with TRAC_ADMIN will automatically get all these permissions. The meta-user "anonymous" also cannot be restricted by this plugin, as their identity isn't known to be checked.

Configuration

All configuration options go in the [virtualticketpermissions] section.

group_blacklist

An example configuration:

[virtualticketpermissions]
group_blacklist = anonymous, authenticated, labusers

[components]
