Configuration of roles to add/edit customers, projects, activities...

[blochwitz]

Hi Kevin,

thanks for publishing the new release with global activities. It is a essential feature for us...

In Kimai V1 it was possible to create/configure user roles to enable/disable tasks like adding new customers, projects, activities but in Kimi V2 we can't find that kind of configuration for roles?!

We need this feature to assign rights to roles to enable/disable the configuration of customers, projects (e.g. for Role „User“) or activities (e.g. for Role „Teamleader“ or „“) and hope it will be a part of the next release...

You can already configure the roles for a user.
And you can already configure the permissions for a user:

What else are you missing?

Hi Kevin,

thanks a lot.

Is there a way to reload the configs / rebuilding the Symfony cache on a web server without access via ssh?

[kevinpapst]

Try to delete the directory var/cache/prod/

[blochwitz]

After deleting the directory, kimai doesn't work anymore...

[kevinpapst]

Check the log file at var/log/prod.log - I assume the Webserver has no permissions to create the directory. Check the permissions for var/cache/

[blochwitz]

There is no log file at var/log/. And i set the permission for the cache folder to 777 and it doesn't help...

[kevinpapst]

No log file at all? Thats weird.
Do you have access to your server logs? Whats in there?
And how did you setup Kimai without SSH access? Probably you need to redo this process.
You are using a setup that I don't know and don't support, so I can just guess what mighty help, sorry!

Hi Kevin,

i setup Kimai locally on a mac and transfered it via FTP to the webserver (https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2/blob/master/var/docs/installation.md#ftp-installation).

So i try to redo this process and hope that reloading the cache will works.

[blochwitz]

Hi Kevin,

i'd redo the setup of Kimai via FTP and after creating local.yaml and deleting the directory /var/cache/prod/ a reload of the cache works. I changed the local.yaml and deleted the directory again but then the reload of the cache doesn't work anymore.

[blochwitz]

Hi Kevin,

reloading of the cache works now and the cause of error was inside the local.yaml (tabs).

Configure the permission map for role_user and adding sets like activities or projects won't work after reloading the cache (users with role USER_ROLE won't be able to see/access the activities/projects administration in the backend menu).

My local.yaml contains:

permissions:
maps:
ROLE_USER: [ACTIVITIES,PROJECTS,CUSTOMERS,TIMESHEET,PROFILE]

[kevinpapst]

Hm, you found a bug.
So your users should be access to these screens, but the admin menu is only rendered for USER_TEAMLEAD and above. I'll change that.

[blochwitz]

Perfect. Until you've fixed that i have to assign USER_TEAMLEAD to all users?!

[blochwitz]

Maybe it's better to place the buttons (for users) outside of the admin menu? So it will be more easy to organize activities, customers...

[kevinpapst]

From my perspective, ROLE_USER shouldn't have the permission to reach these screens.
In the future I will add options for reports/statistics, so we should think about your use-case and see if there are other ways available to achieve your goal.

But on the other hand, maybe the admin menu could be restructured. I'll think about it.

[kevinpapst]

Fixed, you could update to the latest version

[blochwitz]

Okay, thanks. When will it be released?

[kevinpapst]

A release is nothing more than a random tag on master for the non-tech guys ;-)
I want to merge the open PRs and release it soon, but you can use master anytime.
