[ckan-dev] Moderation

Mon Aug 5 01:45:15 UTC 2013

Thanks Adri

Ok - so have remove the moderation config setting.  The CKAN User guide says:
" An Organization's administrators can add add individual users to the Organization, with different roles depending on the level of authorisation needed. A user in an Organization can create a dataset owned by that Organization. In the default setup, this dataset is initially private, and visible only to other users in the Organization. When it is ready for publication, it can be published at the press of a button. This may require a higher authorisation level within the Organization."

Our install is vanilla  CKAN 2.0, so by default it should have a dataset as Private - however when we add new datasets it is set to Public by default - this might have changed since we tweaked the Config file, I think it used to default as Private (not 100% sure).  What settings might have affected this?

In terms of workflow/authorisation, a user with Editor authorisation creates a dataset, sets it to Private (though they are being allowed to set it to public if they wish).  Editor shouldn't according to User guide be able to set to Public - but they can?  "...published at the press of a button" - where should I find this (publish) button.  If logged in as an Admin of the Organisation, I can see the private dataset listed but there is no button to simply switch it to Public - I have to go into the dataset, edit it, change the Visibility field to Public, Update the Dataset?  Is there somewhere else I should be looking?

Is there something weird with our installation that authorisation is not working as described in the user guide/CKAN documentation?  In the CKAN Beta 2.1 I can administer an organisation, look at its datasets and I do see a "Make Public" button, but in CKAN 2.0 under Organisation Admin I only get a tab to admin Members.

Thanks
Aaron

Hi Aaron,

The moderated configuration option is deprecated and should be removed from the docs (there is an issue regarding this that should obviously be prioritized [1]) I suggest you remove this option from your configuration file as it causes problems with datasets not being updated.

Starting with CKAN 2.0, the dataset moderation is done only via the Public/Private field, which you are already using. Users with admin permissions over the dataset should be able to make it public / private. This will most likely work as expected if you remove the moderated setting from the ini file.

Hope this helps,

Adri?

Marco,

>From a quick look at this diagram I think all you'd need to change is
the CKAN version number. The related components and their version numbers look fine to me.

Of course, you will probably have to change lots of your customized templates to do the upgrade, and testing everything, but most things about CKAN's integration haven't changed.

master was broken yesterday due to a clash between the auth audit branch and some work on the datastore

a fix is here https://github.com/okfn/ckan/pull/1151

basically because the datastore resource_show wraps the ckan resource_show and the auth audit just cared about names this failed.
The fix also cares about the id of the function so it can tell the two resource shows apart

It would be good to get master fixed :) can someone review this?

@kindly as you merged the auth audit you may be the best placed.
