Hi Fabio,
The workflow is one way to do it. However, generally it is hard to give the
user good feedback via the workflow in Magnolia 4.4... and working with the
OpenWFE based Workflow engine is just horrible. And it still means the user can
see and choose "Activate" from the Menus, even though she doesn't actually have
permissions to do so...
So I would go another way:
Another way to do it is to override the AdminTreeConfiguration object for your
tree, and substitute it with your own implementation.
You can configure the tree-config class in the configuration, for example for
the "website" tree under:
/modules/adminInterface/trees/website/configurationClass
Create your own implementation as a subclass of
info.magnolia.module.workflow.trees.WorkflowWebsiteTreeConfiguration and
override the prepareContextMenu() method. You can then do something like:
ContextMenu menu = tree.getMenu();
Iterator<ContextMenuItem> it = menu.getMenuItems().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()){
// remove unwanted items
ContextMenuItem item = it.next();
if (item==null) continue;
String name = item.getName();
if ( ("activate".equals(name) &&
!MgnlContext.getUser().hasRole("superuser") ) { // use any role you want
it.remove();
}
}
IMHO this is a better solution than putting it in the workflow because the user
doesn't even get to see the menu items she can't use...
Note: If you're paranoid (or have editors that can't be trusted) you still need
to put a check in the activation command chain (or the Workflow) to prevent
malicious editors from invoking the function by way of hacking in their browser.
