Granular access
By Daltonstudio
Hi there,
I remember there used to be a granular access plugin for elgg 1.8, 1.9.
Since a lot changed under the hood since then, is there anyone who can shed a light on what would be the best approach to achieve this.
I'd like to let my user select one, or maybe more individual users with the userpicker to make an accesscollection to have them + the selected users to have access to the entity an no other users.
Thanks a lot in advance.

You must log in to post replies.Which your Elgg version?
3.3 at the moment
OK, sorry for not digging enough before asking, this seems to be handled by Elgg now in core with Access Control Lists.
I suppose I'd need to write something that makes an ACL right from the entity edit page with the user I want to give access to.
The friends_collections plugin is a nice start to see how it's done but it's kinda an overhead for users to first friend the other user, make a special friends collection with them, then go to the entity and change the access to that friendscollection.
I'm gonna try to make something that does all that right from the entity editpage with a userpicker.
