Group usage permissions #24

Closed hseljenes closed 12 years ago

hseljenes commented 12 years ago

I couldn't find anything in the documentation and skimming the code didn't turn anything up for this request:

Is there a way to allow define permissions for this extensions use?

Something like $wgGroupPermissions['user']['embedvideo'] = false;

I only want to allow certain groups to embed videos.

There is no way in the code to do this. I don't think it's possible. We could set up permissions to prevent people from watching videos, but we cannot prevent people from adding new videos. The video embedding tag is just text saved to the DB, and anybody with edit permissions can edit the page. There's no way for the software to parse it out and determine if you've added a new tag or edited a page with an existing tag.

Sorry,

That's what I was worried of. Guess we'll investigate some other routes. Thanks!
