Adds a way for sysadmins to configure CKAN permissions via a web interface and create new organization roles.

Tested on CKAN 2.5

.. Add any additional install steps to the list below. For example installing any non-Python dependencies or adding any required config settings.

To install ckanext-configpermission:

1. Activate your CKAN virtual environment, for example::

   . /usr/lib/ckan/default/bin/activate

2. Install the ckanext-configpermission Python package into your virtual environment::

   pip install ckanext-configpermission

3. Add configpermission to the ckan.plugins setting in your CKAN config file (by default the config file is located at /etc/ckan/default/production.ini).

4. Restart CKAN. For example if you've deployed CKAN with Apache on Ubuntu::

   sudo service apache2 reload

5. Run database init

   paster --plugin=ckanext-configpermission init -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

6. Create default data

   paster --plugin=ckanext-configpermission defaultdata -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini

7. Configure Permission settings on the sysadmin page.

Select the permissions to be managed in the ckan configuration file. Like so ckan.configpermission.permissions = package_show member_delete group_create resource_update package_show resource_show

To install ckanext-configpermission for development, activate your CKAN virtualenv and do::

git clone https://github.com/thehyve/ckanext-configpermission.git
cd ckanext-configpermission
python setup.py develop
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt

To run the tests, do::

nosetests --paster=ckanext-configpermission --nologcapture --with-pylons=test.ini -c /etc/ckan/default/production.ini
