Permissions

Which permissioncode does a user need on a specific object (or objects this object inherits it's permissions from) to have a specific permission.

Action	Object	Check
wiki
Add a wiki page	wiki	.user_can_create_page()
Moderate a wiki page	wiki.Page	.has_perm('wiki.moderate_page')
Revert a wiki page	wiki.Page	.has_perm('wiki.revert_page')
Change a wiki page	wiki.Page	.has_perm('wiki.change_page')
Delete a wiki page	wiki.Page	.has_perm('wiki.delete_page')
Reply to a wiki page	wiki.Page	.allow_comments
Reply to a wiki page reply	wiki.Page	.has_perm('wiki.moderate_page')
course
Add a realm	Site	.has_perm('course.add_realm')
Add a course	course.Realm	.has_perm('course.add_course')
Add course edition	course.Course	.has_perm('course.add_courseedition')
Add a cluster	course.CourseEdition	.has_perm('course.add_cluster')
Add a cluster member	course.CourseEdition	.is_joinable

Users always get the permissions specified on their User object as a global permission.

Permission inheritance

These objects implement the "Permission Inheritance Interface" and implement the functions get_permissions(), has_perm() and has_access(). The inheritance defined by these functions is:

Object	Permission inherited from	Access inherited from
wiki
wiki.Page	<the parent> or a wiki.Page with the same path prefix	Depends on wiki.Page settings
course
course.Realm		Direct membership
course.Course 1)	course.Realm	course.CourseEdition
course.CourseEdition	course.Course	course.Cluster
course.Cluster	course.CurseEdition + own permission relation	course.ClusterMember
course.ClusterMember	course.Cluster	Direct membership

1) Users can see courses in their realm that are available for joining as specified in the CourseEdition. On joining, a course.Clustermember object is created allowing the user normal access to the course.
