Hello,
I can't seem to find an easy way to check if a *group* has a
permission without making my own query on the auth_permission table
(and then I lose auth logging and the code is uglier).
auth.has_permission only works on users, not groups, as far as I can
tell. I need it for a control which is adding and removing permissions
from groups.
add_permission and del_permission use groups. Shouldn't there perhaps
be a function that checks whether a group has a given permission? Or
am I just missing something.
Cheers,
Clayton
I have the same doubt.
Proposal:
Change Auth.has_permission from this:
def has_permission(
self,
name='any',
table_name='',
record_id=0,
user_id=None,
):
to this:
def has_permission(
self,
name='any',
table_name='',
record_id=0,
user_id=None,
group_id=None,
):
If the caller specifies a group_id, then we check permissions on that group
instead of the groups the user belongs to. It is an error to call
has_permission with both user_id and group_id.
The change would be simple.
