Hi devs, Right now (and since forever) the default behavior for templates is to be executed with the right of the current document content author (it's not really explicit, it's just how PR works when there is no sdoc). This means that unless you explicitly indicate an author for your template (possible since 7.x) you don't really have any idea which right it's going to have at runtime. It also make harder to properly execute templates outside of main rendering thread where the "current document" often don't really make much sense.
I think we should make the default more stable. I can think of two possibilities: 1) with what we got right now the only real possibility is to execute the filesystem template with superadmin right (which is only an option right now). Makes it consistent with the "code is executed with the right of its author" rule we have for wiki pages 2) introduce some new virtual user (like "templateauthor" or "scripter" or whatever) which only have script right and use that as filesystem template author if we absolutely want template to not have too many rights by default (even if modifying a filesystem template require much more access than superadmin in practice) +1 for 1) -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
