FeatureEditor - Restrict editing on attributes only

[gaetan....@gmail.com]

Hi,
Currently, editingAllowedRoles allow to change geometry and attributes values.

I propose to insert a new editingAttributesAllowedRoles into FeatureEditor.cfg config to prohibit some roles to use geometry actions in EDIT mode.

If a user is an attributes editor only, some FeatureEditor toolbar buttons will be  hidden  and user can only change attributes values.

Here an example where toolbar's geom action buttons are hidden due to user access rules : 



Here FeatureEditor config to insert new editingAttrubutesAllowedGroups property :

=================

What do you thing about this new feature ?

I will write a next message to describe my technical purpose.

Thank you for your feedback. I will create a new pull request according to your comments.

Hi,

As I'm waiting for a reply, should I reconsider this proposal ?
Thanks.

Dear Gaetan,

I'm really sorry for the late feedback. 

I think this should be connected with the other feature you are proposing on the other thread of this ML.

In addition, I think both things should be handled together and a bit differently to be of general purpose.

In this specific case we shouldn't limit the concept only to the geometry attribute. Instead, we should treat it like all the other attributes and introduce the concept of "different groups/roles can be allowed to edit different attributes". That's a more generic way to see this implementation, in my opinion, to cover other possible scenarios but mainly to refactor the existing configuration tier to maintain it over time without stratifying many different configuration in many different places.

That's anyway a really interesting editing support for the Attribute Table and a solution from the UI found for it, in my opinion, to be able to select allowed groups (e.g. by the ADMIN, to be discussed maybe).

I think we should definitely better handle all involved proposals you have in a call as soon as possible to discuss together before a PR is raised for these.

Best Regards,
