I am trying to allow access rights to a custom doctype based on a field in the doctype.
I have a custom doctype with a field that is a link to a Role
When the user creates a new document of that doctype they can select a link to a role.
Only users who have the selected role should be able to access the document.
Imagine a role called Public and a role called Private
If a user creates a new document and selects the Private role in the role field only users who have the Private role attached to their accounts should be able to access the document.
I do not want to have alter any users accounts and add user permissions.
I am aware of creating custom user permissions but this is not a solution for regular users creating documents.
Hi you can start studying the Database Tables
so far I was able to hide/unhide the modules by batch and by Role
I haven’t updated this for awhile. I created this when ERPNext was still v7.
I’m planning to update this in few weeks from now. Next updates will include
- User Permissions
- Sort Order of Modules
- Globally Change Background
- Make it work for v8-v9
Would be glad if you can contribute
Cheers,
John
Thanks John
I appreciate the answer.
What I am trying to do is not so much hide things as recreate what most people understand as groups.
If I create a new doctype with a field name Role that is a link to a Role I would like anyone with that role to access the document if it has a link to a role that they have.
I have gone through the erpnext permission system and it doesn’t seem to offer any straightforward way to do that.
I can add a customer user permission per user to access documents but I dont want to do that. Also documents would be created by regular users who would not have the rights to go and alter permissions.
