[Building Sakai] Clog permission question

[Jonas Eriksson]

Hi Adrian,

Well, I have no use case from our organization as we have not deployed Clog yet.

But having a permission that has no effect is kind of misleading I think. A workaround could be to gray out the comment.read.any checkboxes and couple them when clicking in the post.read.any checkboxes. That way you don't have to remove the permission option.

Thanks for quick response!
Jonas

Hi Jonas,

I actually think that the comment.read.any permission is unused and post.read.any is taken as an implicit permission to read the comments as well. Do you have a use case where you may want to allow viewing of a post but not comments?

Cheers,
Adrian.

Hi Adrian or anyone that can answer,

We are testing Clog 0.9.3 and the permission setting read.any for Comments.

The teacher creates a Post for everybody to read, and the read.any for comments is unchecked for the student. Then student 1 can see student 2's comments on the posting the teacher created. That can't be right, or?

Regards
Jonas
