Modules configuration editor

🤦 🤦 🤦 Combodo's customers only 😎 😎 😎

This extension allows non-Administrators to edit the configuration of designated modules.

Multiple iTop extensions come up with configuration parameters, but sometimes, the best person to set them isn't the iTop Administrator and the Configuration file is only accessible to Administrator. Rather than giving to this person full access to iTop Configuration, you can with this extension, allow him to edit just the modules configuration that he needs.

• Delegate specific modules configuration to some profile
• Can allow the inline edition of some modules even if the full Configuration edition is disabled for security reason with the parameter config_editor.

For eg. you want to allow Configuration Manager to setup and modify rules for those 2 modules: User actions configurator and Hyperlinks configurator

Configuration file

$MyModuleSettings = array(
  'combodo-modules-config-editor' => array (
    'profiles' => array (
      'Configuration Manager' => array (
        'itop-object-copier',
        'combodo-custom-hyperlinks',
      ),
    ),
  ),

This extension has no specific external dependencies.

Use the Standard installation process for this extension.

For some iTop profiles, you can define explicitly the modules (identified with their code, as in the full Configuration file) which parameters edition will be allowed

Configuration file

'combodo-modules-config-editor' => array (
  'profiles' => array (
    'Administrator' => array (
        'approval-base',
        'authent-ldap',
        'combodo-modules-config-editor',
    ),
    'Configuration Manager' => array (
        'itop-object-copier',
        'combodo-custom-hyperlinks',
        'itop-attachments',
        'itop-stencils',
        'customer-survey',
        'approval-base',
        'combodo-approval-extended',
        'combodo-sla-computation',
    ),
  ),
),

The module configuration editor works even if the full Configuration edition is disabled for security reason with the parameter config_editor.

conf/production/config-itop.php

'itop-config' => array( 
    'config_editor' => 'disabled', 
)

Launch the editor from the configuration menu:

• If the user tries to add some configuration for modules that he is not allowed to, this module configuration will be ignored (silently?)
• If the user enters PHP invalid format, his submission will be rejected with an error message
• If the user set non-existing parameters, there won't be any warning message, but those unknown parameters will have no effect
