ATK Demo Walkthrough – Lesson 5
From Achievo/ATK Wiki
Contents |
Intro
In this lesson we take the application we built in Lesson 4 and add user permissions to it, so only certain users can perform certain actions
The Departments Node
We restrict the editing of the department - only users who are logged in and belong to this department can edit a record.
function recordActions($record,&$actions)
The Employees Node
There are some new fields in the employee node in this lesson; the loginname ('employeeid' in this case), and a password. To work with the password we use the atkPasswordAttribute.
The NF_MRA flag is added to the node - this displays select boxes in the list view and allows multiple deletes.
The Profile Node
This is new in this lesson. It uses an atkProfileAttribute to allow us to edit the privileges each profile has.
The Module
We add a menu item for the profile and also restrict which users can see which menu items.
This lesson contains the getNode() function which allows us to define which nodes exist, and what actions each node has - so we can manage permissions.
