We began moving away from simple "is this user an admin?" permission checks
before 0.12, with the introduction of mod_authz_internal and the ability to
dynamically change the roles of individual users.

The approach in 0.12 still had various limitations however, and apart from
the introduction of roles other than "admin" and the ability to pull that info
from storage, not much actually changed.

This new framework shakes things up a lot, though aims to maintain the same
functionality and behaviour on the surface for a default Prosody
configuration. That is, if you don't take advantage of any of the new
features, you shouldn't notice any change.

The biggest change visible to developers is that usermanager.is_admin() (and
the auth provider is_admin() method) have been removed. Gone. Completely.

Permission checks should now be performed using a new module API method:

module:may(action_name, context)

This method accepts an action name, followed by either a JID (string) or
(preferably) a table containing 'origin'/'session' and 'stanza' fields (e.g.
the standard object passed to most events). It will return true if the action
should be permitted, or false/nil otherwise.

Modules should no longer perform permission checks based on the role name.
E.g. a lot of code previously checked if the user's role was prosody:admin
before permitting some action. Since many roles might now exist with similar
permissions, and the permissions of prosody:admin may be redefined
dynamically, it is no longer suitable to use this method for permission
checks. Use module:may().

If you start an action name with ':' (recommended) then the current module's
name will automatically be used as a prefix.

To define a new permission, use the new module API:

module:default_permission(role_name, action_name)
module:default_permissions(role_name, { action_name[, action_name...] })

This grants the specified role permission to execute the named action(s) by
default. This may be overridden via other mechanisms external to your module.

The built-in roles that developers should use are:

- prosody:user (normal user)
- prosody:admin (host admin)
- prosody:operator (global admin)

The new prosody:operator role is intended for server-wide actions (such as
shutting down Prosody).

Finally, all usage of is_admin() in modules has been fixed by this commit.
Some of these changes were trickier than others, but no change is expected to
break existing deployments.

EXCEPT: mod_auth_ldap no longer supports the ldap_admin_filter option. It's
very possible nobody is using this, but if someone is then we can later update
it to pull roles from LDAP somehow.]]> Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> Wed, 15 Jun 2022 12:15:01 +0100 mod_announce: Silence luacheck warning about unused variable http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/2fbcdf6da331/plugins/mod_announce.lua Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> Mon, 23 Dec 2019 21:43:34 +0100 mod_announce: Check for admin on current virtualhost instead of global (fixes #1365) (thanks yc) http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/1117138fa372/plugins/mod_announce.lua Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> Mon, 27 May 2019 12:05:35 +0200 mod_announce: Fix luacheck warnings http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/71500c68fed4/plugins/mod_announce.lua Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> Fri, 06 Jul 2018 00:16:48 +0200 mod_announce: Depend on mod_adhoc for consistent behaviour (thanks meaz, Link Mauve) http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/9d0d1e427b82/plugins/mod_announce.lua Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> Mon, 02 Jul 2018 23:41:36 +0200 mod_announce: Remove unreachable return statement [luacheck] http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/1cc9a293e958/plugins/mod_announce.lua Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> Fri, 23 Mar 2018 14:01:42 +0100 Remove all trailing whitespace http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/bd0ff8ae98a8/plugins/mod_announce.lua Florian Zeitz <florob@babelmonkeys.de> Fri, 09 Aug 2013 17:48:21 +0200 mod_announce, mod_auth_anonymous, mod_c2s, mod_c2s, mod_component, mod_iq, mod_message, mod_presence, mod_tls: Access prosody.{hosts,bare_sessions,full_sessions} instead of the old globals http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/7838acadb0fa/plugins/mod_announce.lua Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:27:16 +0100 mod_admin_adhoc, mod_announce: Explicitly specify possible actions for ad-hoc commands http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/88fb94df9b18/plugins/mod_announce.lua Florian Zeitz <florob@babelmonkeys.de> Thu, 02 Aug 2012 21:42:00 +0200 mod_announce, mod_motd, mod_pubsub, mod_register, mod_watchregistrations, mod_welcome: Use module:send() instead of core_*_stanza() http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/b2006c1cfa85/plugins/mod_announce.lua Kim Alvefur <zash@zash.se> Thu, 26 Jul 2012 04:35:13 +0200 mod_adhoc, mod_admin_adhoc, mod_announce: Use module:provides() to manage Ad-Hoc commands http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/58714123f600/plugins/mod_announce.lua Florian Zeitz <florob@babelmonkeys.de> Tue, 12 Jun 2012 14:29:04 +0200 mod_announce: A little cleanup. http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/5ca2ed58788f/plugins/mod_announce.lua Waqas Hussain <waqas20@gmail.com> Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:29:28 +0500 mod_announce: Removed unused variables. http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/4e44469b0583/plugins/mod_announce.lua Waqas Hussain <waqas20@gmail.com> Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:20:00 +0500 mod_announce: Changed a global variable to local. http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/05c1d8269043/plugins/mod_announce.lua Waqas Hussain <waqas20@gmail.com> Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:19:09 +0500 mod_announce: Add ad-hoc command for sending announcements \o/ http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/65e5dfcf5a9f/plugins/mod_announce.lua Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> Fri, 11 Jun 2010 12:07:25 +0100 mod_announce: Fixed an edge case where non-admins attempting to announce would get two error replies. http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/0badae62de28/plugins/mod_announce.lua Waqas Hussain <waqas20@gmail.com> Tue, 08 Jun 2010 16:26:01 +0500 Update copyright headers for 2010 http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/b7049746bd29/plugins/mod_announce.lua Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:06:15 +0000 Add copyright header to those files missing one http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/569d58d21612/plugins/mod_announce.lua Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> Fri, 10 Jul 2009 03:08:38 +0100 mod_announce: Work with non-local admins http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/4c7b8b8ab569/plugins/mod_announce.lua Waqas Hussain <waqas20@gmail.com> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:59:21 +0500 mod_announce: Use usermanager.is_admin to verify admin status http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/ce3eb5f71899/plugins/mod_announce.lua Waqas Hussain <waqas20@gmail.com> Tue, 23 Jun 2009 23:55:56 +0500 mod_announce: New module to send a message to all online users http://hg.omfa.de/prosody-hg/log/8999dd4253f9/plugins/mod_announce.lua Matthew Wild <mwild1@gmail.com> Mon, 22 Jun 2009 18:05:36 +0100
