user based module and field access groups

• groups defined globally

• appear in user config

• license-like approval possibility

• module and field level control

• if no menu modules are currently accessible, top level menu hide()'s

  • could modify appconfig.json or maybe via a mongo pull

• implementation idea

  • in module top level and module individual fields
  • groups: "g1g2g3"
  • in appconfig.json

groups: { 
    g1 : {
           desc           : "group 1" // if present will be used as label instead of group name
           ,approvalemail : x@y.z  // if present will require approval (similar to license mech)
           ,notifyemail   : a@b.c  // if present will notify this email of changes  
           ,userconfig    : 1      // whether or not present in user configuration as an option
           ,help          : "the hover help text"
         }
    ,...
}

• in mongo:users

groups: [ g1, ... ]

• relevant code insertion points

  • ga_global.js / ga.group* support routines
  • types/group.input / calls ga.group
  • sys/sys_user_config.php / updates mongo user:group array
  • sys/sys_status.php / returns global group info
  • modules/sys_user_config.json / add "group" type

• user configuration module

• menu pull

extra notes

• if pcntl already enabled php5dismod pcntl
• install.pl is putting proxypass into php.ini, should be in apache2.conf
• enable proxypass a2enmod proxy && a2enmod proxy_wstunnel

todo

1. modify user configuration to recognize groups

• [done] modules/sys_user_config.json -> etc/sys_user_config.html
• [done] sys/sys_user_config.php -> ajax/sys_config/sys_user_config.php
• [done] add update of group info with "userconfig" set
  • later this may change to "requested" etc.
• modify admin user list to show group membership
• sys/sys_userslist.php -> ajax/sys_config/sysuserlist.php
• go back and add support for approvalemail & notifyemail

1. modify gui to recognize menu entries and hide appropriately
2. modify input screen to hide input fields
