add warning to inform user if they do not have campaign author privileges about author HOT 9 CLOSED

On second thought, we may not want to completely cut a user off from authoring a survey. I think our main goal is just to inform them that given current permissions, they will not be able to upload here (so they may not want to waste their time). thoughts, @hongsudt ?

if they don't have the campaign creation privilege, we shouldn't let them continue. The warning should direct them to contact their system administrator for obtaining the privilege.

@jeroenooms I would love for the users to be able to use this tool to look at the content of the campaign, even though they don't have campaign creation privilege. The tool makes it so easy, comparing to reading the xml directly.

But the entire tool is made for editing. We would have to disable all of the forms and input fields and close x buttons and drag-drop features, etc. Otherwise the user might still be under the impression that she can edit the campaign and only find out later that the submit button is not working.

what about just disable the upload button with the tooltip that suggests
that you have no right to update the campaign?

Yes we can do that, but I think it might still lead to confusion that the user has a full editing tool, but then won't be able to submit.

ACL rules:

• user can create campaign if:
  • user is admin
  • user has campaign create privilege
• user can update campaign if:
  • count == 0 and user is admin
  • count == 0 and user has campaign role author or supervisor

from author.

yes. That's the rule. I just happened to work on that API yesterday to allow admin to update.

from author.

OK this should now be implemented. The application will raise a warning if the user does not have sufficient privileges (based on the ACL rules above) to create or update a campaign and disable the submission button.
