Description Jonathan Druart 2015-02-03 14:55:03 UTC
circ/offline.pl needs the perm circulate_remaining_permissions but tools/upload-file.pl needs tools => *
That means a librarian cannot upload the .koc files generated offline

If the patron doesn't have any tools permission, you have to log in again after uploading the file.

I think this is because
upload-file-progress.pl still requires the tool permission.

Are we sure those files are only used for the offline circulation file upload?

Hum, I was sure I tested that, but actually you are right, the file is used by other scripts: upload-file.pl is used in file-upload.in which is used in 
- offline_circ/process_koc.tt
- tools/stage-marc-import.tt
- tools/upload-images.tt

So this patch does not fix the problem correctly.

So, we don't need to check permissions again in upload-file.pl since we did it in offline_circ/process_koc.pl, tools/stage-marc-import.pl and tools/upload-cover-image.pl ?
Comment 6 Katrin Fischer 2015-06-09 12:56:59 UTC
I don't feel comfortable with 'not checking' - maybe just check that one of the needed permissions is given?

- circulate_remaining_permissions
- stage marc import
- upload images
Comment 7 Alex Arnaud 2015-06-09 13:52:05 UTC
@Katrin:

It's not about "not checking" because, if i'm not wrong, it's not possible to access/use upload-file.pl without a least one of these 3 permissions since they are checked before.

The question is: Why checking them once again in upload-file.pl?
Comment 8 Katrin Fischer 2015-06-09 14:01:40 UTC
I guess it just doesn't sound very clean :) And someone without the proper permissions might be able to access the script then?
Comment 9 Alex Arnaud 2015-06-09 14:15:43 UTC
Oh yes, indeed, just seen that could be a security problem.
So, why not check only catalogue permission (Which is the one required to access staff interface iirc)? I feel better with that because we won't need to update upload-file.pl and upload-file-progress.pl permissions each time we add a new page requiring these files with an other permission.
Comment 10 Katrin Fischer 2015-06-09 19:47:41 UTC
I don't think we will add more very often - I'd like it better if it was limited to the 3 permissions linked to the features.

In the end no, the feature does not use upload-file.pl nor upload-file-progress.pl
