Hello,I haven't found how to limit access to a space. for instance I would like to keep users' home spaces private… I looked at the "invite" option but haven't been able to do what I want.thanks,tom.

thanks,
tom.

just to make sure, does anyone know definitively that there's currently no way to limit user access to a given space (or file) given what's provided in the open source version (short of doing some coding)? thanks for any clarification on this (as there seem to be hints of this functionality being available in the oss version as it stands).

After some active discussions and listening to the comments from the community, a simple permissions framework (to restrict access to spaces, actions etc.) will be provided for the Open version.

For the current 1.0 build of the Open version you would need to code up something or wait…..

Thanks,

Hi Kevin,

When can we expect a new version, a rough estimation not anything specific, of alfresco opensource with this single permissions framework in it?

Thank you

Is this something that someone in the community can code up? If so, can you point us to the interfaces that we would need to implement and the config files that we would need to update?

We should have a release out before the end of the year.

As i mention in the reply above, we should have a release before the end of the year with it in.

If you fancy coding something, then the interfaces to the appropriate services are:
org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.AuthorityService
org.alfresco.service.cmr.security.PermissionService

Current noop (no-operation) implementations of those services exist in the repo code and can be seen here:
org.alfresco.repo.security.authority.SimpleAuthorityServiceImpl
org.alfresco.repo.security.permissions.noop.PermissionServiceNOOPImpl

The client already has the appropriate evaluators and config set up - but because the services are only implemented in the Pro/Enterprise version at the moment, they only have useful implementations in those versions.

Thanks,

Kevin
