The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Michael Young <address@concealed>]

Not an exact answer to the question you’re asking – but do the IT folks have the ability to update groups that contain the members that you want to be able to send and also exist on that other list?

 

If so, you could set up a send scenario that did a search query against the directory for the group membership on the one list, and an ldap_include on the other ilst.

Subject: [sympa-users] privileged owners and scenari sources access

 

Hi –

 

I want to grant privileged owners the ability to edit send scenari in lists they create. These are IT Support techs who will need to edit a list’s send scenario to add the name of another list whose subscribers will be allowed to post to the new list but will not themselves be subscribers.

 

Looking for an answer I found this archived thread from 2011, which stated that the behavior is hard-coded but could be modified by changing code in web_tt2/edit_list_request.tt2 and in wwsympa.fcgi.

 

However, in the more current version we have installed (6.2.62) there is no mention of dump_scenario html access in edit_list_request.tt2. I do see that dump_scenario is still referenced in wwsympa.fcgi in several places. I’m guessing from the old thread’s info that I’d need to change

 

'dump_scenario'            => ['listmaster'],

To

'dump_scenario'            => ['privileged_owner', 'listmaster'],

 

But what about the action_type definition?

'dump_scenario'     => 'admin',

 

Is wwsympa.fcgi now what totally controls scenari source access, or is there someplace else I’d also need to tweak where the former edit_list_request.tt2 code went?

 

Thanks

Betty
