Re: Intentions behind role 'inventory_adjust' vs 'inventory_reports'

Hi Erik,

Seeing this email I'm thinking your throw-away comment in #ledgersmb has merit.

Seems like we need a roles/permissions editor for use at a dev level.

Off hand I'd think we may want to revisit the permissions ecosystem possibly increasing its granularity and as we would now have an editor include virtual roles/permissions.

Then at the instance and company levels allow roles/permissions  to be selected as active/inactive so only the ones relevant to a company/instance are displayed in the UI

Subject: [Ledger-smb-devel] Intentions behind role 'inventory_adjust' vs	'inventory_reports'

Hi,

Today I'm trying to finish my tests for the inventory reports by creating a few BDD tests (I already had the database tests) for the reporting functionality.

Now, I try to run the tests using the minimal role set required for the functionality. However, I'm finding that I have a problem: I want to use the 'Search' function in the Goods and Services menu because it lists (among other things) the "On Hand" amount.

Granting my test user the "inventory_adjust" permission doesn't give access to the Search "report" output. Nor does "inventory_reports" (which provides access to the activity report and the inventory and cogs report).

The 'search' node seems to be part of the 'part_edit' role only.

I'm a bit lost here, trying to understand what the correct role would be for users who want to do the activities involved in inventory maintenance (searching for parts, inspecting parts, inspecting on-hand amounts, entering new inventory counts, ....).

Help?
