Issue with Pilot Groups/Admin

phpVMS Legacy Support

Hi,

I think there is a slight issue with the core_navigation and issueing admin rights through the Pilot Groups.

I have added the group “Operations Manager”, and do not wish to give full admin rights to this group. I have not clicked “Full Admin Access”, but only “Access Admin” and a couple of other permissions, such as the ability to edit PIREPS & Add News.

Because this is not classed in the group “Administrator”, this member of the group cannot see the “Admin Center” link on the top of his/her header on the webpages. Therefore cannot access the admin panel apart from going to URL/admin.

Could this be fixed,so that these groups can also have the “Admin Center” link on the top of the homepage?

This is the beta right? I can’t remember if I released the admin roles yet…

What you’ll have to do, in core_navigation.tpl

Replace:

if(Auth::UserInGroup('Administrators'))

With

if(PilotGroups::group_has_perm(Auth::$usergroups, ACCESS_ADMIN))

Had been updated for next release, though. Thanks!

Thanks Nabeel. Yes, this was the Beta.

Hi Nabeel

Are admin roles coming in the next version?  Do you know a rough timescale that will be?

Thanks

They’re coming, yes. Timescale? I don’t know, I was hoping a little while ago. But I think I will release in conjunction with vaCentral, so I’d say I dunno, a month maybe?

Thanks Nabeel - looking forward to it.
