wiki:SuperUserPlugin

Add administrator privileges to a given user

Description

This plugin automatically gives a given username TRAC_ADMIN permissions. This is useful for a multiproject setup with AccountManagerPlugin, where users and passwords are shared between all projects, and there should be an admin user with full permissions without manually setting it on every project.

The plugin works by wrapping the current PermissionStore, in order to fake the superuser permissions. Permissions are not added to the database, but added on the fly when requested.

Source

You can check out SuperUserPlugin from here using Subversion, or browse the source with Trac.

Installation

General instructions on installing Trac plugins can be found on the TracPlugins page.

Configuration

To enable the plugin, add the following line to your trac.ini file:

[components]
tracsuperuser.* = enabled

Then, replace the current PermissionStore. In this example DefaultPermissionStore was used before installing the superuser plugin:

[trac]
...
permission_store = SuperUserPlugin
...

[superuser]
superuser = admin
wrapped_permission_store = DefaultPermissionStore
...

Where:

  • permission_store: Use SuperUserPlugin as the new permission store.
  • supersuser: The name of the user with admin permissions.
  • wrapped_permission_store: The permission store being used previously. If the user is not the superuser, this permission store will be used to retrieve the user permissions.
