Feature request: roles management (multi-profile) about richfilemanager

[psolom]

What is the purpose of that?
If you want to disable/enable filemanager for some users depending on their role you could implement this in filemanager.php::auth()

[fabriceci]

To be more granular.

If your app has x group of users and you want to give different rights, for example :

• User : can access to the FM, select or download a file.
• Admin : all above + upload/delete files + zip
• Super admin : all above + unzip files

(by default, the actual case, user has all roles )

[psolom]

I see now, may be interesting feature.
Do you want to implement it with a new PR?

[fabriceci]

Yes, I will do that but before I would like:

• finish my java connector (maybe merge with the work of @gmkll)
• see if I can improve the visual with a new more modern theme

[psolom]

Great!
Concerning to PR #21, I would like you to communicate with @gmkll. I prefer that one of you take a lead on implementing Java connector to not create a various PR for that purpose. You can create new issue if you need to discuss all the things with him.

[psolom]

Of course if you both work on the same connector.

[fabriceci]

Connectors are very close, but I can't use the @gmkll without modifications. I will open
in the coming days a new issue and discuss with him to see what we will do.

[psolom]

That's would be great.
He, also made a number of modifications in JS file, which I have to review anyway.

I have a similar need that I will be implementing into my node connector. In my case, I need to block access to files based upon user roles. So my root folder will have folders for each role, and each request will verify that the user has the role that matches the folders name or they will be denied. This way I can have groups that have private files. I will write it in such a way that it can be easily ignored, aka, opt-in. Node uses a standard user configuration that roles can be added to, I'm not sure how it would work in other connectors except .net. I did this to my current .net connector, but it was horribly messy and non-standard so I never even thought about passing it back as a pull request. My node connector I will, though. I will go to lengths to make it standard compliant and clean.

[psolom]

Solved with the RichFilemanager release v2.0.0
See "setAllowedActions()" method called from filemanager.php. Feel free to reopen the issue if you have any advanced ideas on this subject.

@fabriceci @servocoder is it possible to do to give different rights to user, admin or superadmin,.. with filemanajer.js node connector?
