Powermail Export Permissions

3.0.0 2022-12-14 18:56 UTC

Requires

• typo3/cms-core: ^11.5

GPL-2.0-or-later

README

By default, an editor who has read access to a page in TYPO3, access to Powermail mails and answers and permissions to use the Powermail module can read and export the submitted form data. If you're working with a page where every editor can see every page but only edit those he has permissions for, this might not be desirable.

This simple extension hooks into the Powermail and the List module and check for write access to the page. If there is no write access, the mails cannot be exported.

Compatibility and Maintenance

This package is currently maintained for the following versions:

Installation

Get it from composer:

composer require visol/powermail-exportperms

Usage

The list view doesn't display records from the tables tx_powermail_domain_model_mails and tx_powermail_domain_model answers if the user doesn't have at least content editing permissions on a page. This is done by using a hook in the TYPO3 core.

To use this functionality in the Powermail backend module, copy the backend templates to your template extension (or anywhere you want) and configure the module to use them:

module.tx_powermail {
	view {
		templateRootPath = path/to/Templates
		partialRootPath = path/to/Partials
		layoutRootPath = path/to/Layouts
	}
}

Then, import the namespace of the extension's ViewHelper:

{namespace pmep=Visol\PowermailExportperms\ViewHelpers}

And wrap whatever you want to show and hide depending on the editing rights with an if condition using the UserHasWritePermissionForPage ViewHelper:

<f:if condition="{pmep:userHasWritePermissionForPage()}">
	<f:then>
		[Show stuff]
	</f:then>
	<f:else>
		Access denied.
	</f:else>
</f:if>

Security considerations

Be aware that this extension merely hides records from the user. It does not prevent fetching the records with other views providing database listing or by manipulating URL parameters from the edit/show record functionalities in the TYPO3 backend.

Do not use the extension if you are obliged to make the records completely inaccessible for a user.

Requirements

• TYPO3 8.7 LTS+
• Tested with Powermail 5.3
