[edit] Permissions Tests

These tests have been updated so they run on Alfresco 1.4, and are not backwards compatible.

[edit] Summary

These tests check the different permission roles for Spaces and Content.

[edit] Description

The test performs the following:

• Calls Login as Admin action (default setup test for all tests)
  • See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Auto_Reusable_Actions_13#LoginAsAdmin
  • Checks whether connected as Guest or cookie remembers last logged in user
  • Has check for disabled cookies
• Calls Create TestUser action (default setup test for all tests where a non-admin user is required)
  • See http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Auto_Reusable_Actions_13#CreateTestUser
  • Creates a Test User

• Imports an ACP package that contains a space structure containing all permission types
• Validates that Admin can see all the permission spaces (including a Space with No Permissions)
• Logs out Admin and Logs in as Test User
• Validates that Test User can see all the permission spaces excluding the No Permissions space
  • if No Permissions space is detected then post a Fail
• Navigate into each space and perform the following test
  • view the spaces details and look at the Actions available for the current level of Permissions
  • view the content items (within the space) details and look at the Actions available for the current level of Permissions
  • navigate back to the parent space ready to check the next space

• Cleans up the test
  • Logs out Test User and logs back in as Admin

[edit] Future Enhancements

Future enhancements include binding the Permission checks to a spreadsheet so that any changes in Permissions or Actions made to the client can be fed into updating a spreadsheet instead of changing the test's code. Deeper probe into trying to perform actions that are not allowed by the tested Permissions level and checking for 'Permission Denied' messages.
