[daisy] Navigation tree problems

[zachary.mentz at thomsonreuters.com]

I think I understand.

 

This is an ACL issue.  ACL is evaluated from top down.  If there's
conflicting statements, whichever one is on bottom will win.  Also, any
statements that restrict the role of "administrator" aren't going to
work since administrators always have full rights.  You said you're
using a different role, cosite_admin, so I think you're fine there, but
just to be clear.  

 

I've done something similar with our own instance of Daisy, but instead
of restricting based on branch, I restricted by collection. 

 

My first statement looks like this:

 

If true then everyone  

Read Live(X) Read(X) Write(X) Delete(X) Publish(X).

 

This shuts off all sites to all viewers except admins.  My next line
opens up one site to one role, it looks like this:

 

If collections = 2 then

Role: product_management

Read Live(check) Read(check) Write(check) Delete(check) Publish(check)

 

So now anyone in the product_management role should be able to log in
and see only the site that is part of collection 2.  And just repeating
statements like this downward with different collections and roles gives
me something similar to what I think you're looking for.

 

I think you might find it easier (if you're not doing so already) to
break those things up into different sites and collections instead of
querying on branches.  That'll give you freedom to add one document to
several collections if you ever decide you want to share certain
documents between roles (and you wouldn't have to edit the ACL).  Just a
thought.

Hi

The problem I am facing is that I have configured say 5 branches. Now I
am creating an administrator for each of these branches. In the
navigation tree I have links to 5 documents that query daisy for that
particular branch on display the results on a page. Now my requirement
is that each administrator should not be able to see the links of the
other 4 documents in the navigation tree  and should only see the link
of the document that displays the contents of this branch.

Now using ACL I configured a role cosite_admin and for this role I
revoked all the permissions including the read permission for all the
doucments.
Then I created another rule saying that if  a user admin1 belonging to
role cosite_admin role is there then I granted him complete access to
his branch for e.g. branch1

The problem is since I revoked all the rights on all the pages except
his branch , after logging in using the admin1 id I get the message No
sites are available to you . In other words the sites welcome page is no
longer accessible for this user. So nothing comes up in the navigation
tree as well so the navigation tree is not accessible either .

What didn't work about setting that through the ACL, Manoj?

Hi

Is it possible to display different navigation trees for different
users. Actually I have separate branches created for each group of
users.
My requirement is that for each user the navigation tree should show the
documents of the branch to which that particular user has access to and
should not show any documents he is not allowed access to.
