[ckan-dev] dataset permission

Tue Mar 24 06:10:46 UTC 2015

Thanks Khalegh for your response. I have looked at the IAuthFunctions interface but still not sure how I will implement it to meet our requirements. We want only the editors who have been given editing permission to only specific private datatsets by the organization admin should be able to edit those datasets. We have not yet worked out a way first how an admin will give edit permission to  a selected user with editor role to edit a specific private dataset. I am thinking this can be somehow be implemented as dataset extra metadata where I should be able to store user ids for those users who have edit permission for that dataset. Then when implementing the IAuthFunction interface for 'pkg_update' I am assuming I can check if the current user is one of the users in the dataset metadata and accordingly return True or False.
Not sure if there is a better way to do this.

Hi Pabitra,
You can achieve that by implementing IAuthFunctions interface : http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/extensions/plugin-interfaces.html?highlight=iauth#ckan.plugins.interfaces.IAuthFunctions
Implement a custom auth function for package_update action and change the access rules based on the package private field.
