Example

All new modules need to respect the ACL settings when accessing data in tables. If they also wish to use ACL to protect additional tables, then during installation, information on what to protect and default permissions needs to be saved to the database. Therefore a function should be written similar to the one below.

Please note that the below function contains two parts:

  1. Sahana-common ACL configuration
  2. Module-specific configuration

Note: Modules should include only the Module-specific configuration. Sahana-common ACL will go in the setup script of Sahana. For the time being, as we don't have a setup script, this common code is also there in the function below.

function shn_or_acl_setup(){
 	global $global;
    include_once $global['approot']. 'inc/lib_security/acl_api.inc';
    include_once $global['approot'].'inc/lib_security/acl.inc';

or_acl_setup to sahana setup script once it's available
