REQUEST: Allow Users to edit their own rules

Post by prisma » 2018-03-02 16:09

Hello,

one design problem of the old and the new webfrontend is, that users aren't able to edit their own rules.
I assume, this is based on source code restrictions and not changeable because PHP only utilizes COM.

Anyway, then let's change the sourcecode.
If normal "Users" should be always able to edit their rules, or only if configured, or if there's a "poweruser" role in future which is able to to that, is discussable.

I know, that hMailserver's development is very slow, and it'll take years before this change could be found in a release. But I'd like to discuss it here before adding an issue to github.
Without request no change.

Cheers Greg

Surely having users able to maintain their own rules at hms level is the same as them putting in message rules at the client level. Also some actions available in the rules are dangerous in the wrong hands and should only be considered by a responsible administrator (such as modifying headers, creating copies and sending or moving to public folders.

How do you see the benefits of giving users this access instead of at client level (which still allows them to delete, auto respond or move to folder)?

Works for me.

In the config.php file you have a setting to allow that.

Code: Select all

/*

   The rule_editing_level setting defines who should be allowed
   to edit rules. By default, only the server administrator is
   allowed to change the rules.

   You can change this setting if you want domain administrators
   or normal users to be able to edit rules. If you give end-users
   access to rule editing, you should be aware that these users
   may be able to set up rules which will cause problems on the
   server. As an example, they may be able to set up rules which
   generates endless loops of messages.

   Only give end-users or domain administrators rights to rules if
   you trust them to use it wisely.

   If you give domain administrators and end-users access to rules,
   they will only be allowed to edit account-level rules. Server wide
   rules are only accessible by the server administrator.

   Possible values:

      0 - All users on the server should be allowed access.
      1 - Domain administrators and server administrators should be
          allowed access.
      2 - Only server administrators should be allowed access.
*/

$hmail_config['rule_editing_level']	= 2;
