Public bug reported:
Re: http://wiki.mahara.org/Roadmap/3_Views - 3.3 Improvements to Access
Control as it currently is in 1.4dev.
With the new UI if I have a single independent page and a collection
containing other pages I found the following:
- I went to the 'Share' tab and there was only an edit access icon next
to the single page not the collection.
I would expect that I could edit the access for collections as well as
individual pages?
- when I clicked to edit the single page I was taken to the access page
as expected, but in here there are two checkboxes at the top of the
page: one for the collection and one for the page I was expecting. Both
selected by default. Unfortunately I only saw these too late and ended
up changing the access for everything - collection and single page.
I only wanted to change the access for my single page (partially LIES!
this was actually the only thing I was given the option to edit on the
previous page).
This appears to be a change in aid of bulk access editing, though there
is still no mention of this on the page and I only wanted update the
access for a single page.
Having these checkboxes here and selected by default means that I either
need to make my selection twice with the second "selection" being a
matter of "de-selection" or once (if we eliminated the original screen)
and then only by a process of "de-selection".
Selection of pages/collections to be updated should IMO only happen on
one page - so we should either eliminate the first screen or remove the
boxes from the second.
To remedy this mess I had to select to change access for my single page
again, deselect the page that I have just selected to change access for,
so that only the collection is checked, and then update back to what I
wanted. Wash, rinse, repeat if there had been any other
collections/pages (which would have been painful!). Though admittedly I
might have noticed as the checkbox list would have been larger and more
obvious.
I would personally prefer to be able to choose the item(s) I wish to
update and then be taken to a page knowing that it is just for my
selected items. A la the old access UI but with the addition of being
able to select bulk lots somehow.
At the very least collections definitely should be showing an Edit
Access button of their own on the first screen.
Don't want this current setup to slip through to release in April and
cause problems with existing accesses ...
