This PR is about streamlining ACL management for
ProtectionMixinclasses (Attachment,AttachmentFolder,MenuEntry).Why is it needed?
Despite the management methods exist (
update_principal,remove_principal), they are used only in tests and not in production code. The principals are updated using the usual populate-by-form methods resultingsignals.acl.entry_changedis not called, ACL changes are not logged in user log.Solution
A new function
update_read_permissionsis added toindico.core.permissionsmodule. Its signature intentionally the same as forupdate_permissionswhich operates onProtectionManagerMixinpermissions. Seemingly these functions would be worth further refactoring but I didn't want to go too far in this PR. Please let me know if you think otherwise.
