    Description

      We need to restore the ability for users to allow them to (for example) change their own password.

      This requires modify access on only the user its own node, excluding the ability to delete that node.

      We currently only have 2 roles readwrite (granting jcr:write) and admin (granting jcr:all) which both imply the right to also delete the qualified node(s).

      A new and finer grained role is needed to restrict and exclude the jcr:deleteNode privilege which is included/implied with both jcr:write and jcr:all.

      The new modify role will grant the following jcr privileges:

      • jcr:read
      • jcr:modifyProperties
      • jcr:addChildNodes
      • jcr:removeChildNodes

      With this role, a new "modify-user" security domain will be added as follows:

          /hippo:configuration/hippo:domains/modify-user:
            jcr:primaryType: hipposys:domain
            /self:
              jcr:primaryType: hipposys:domainrule
              /match-nodename-with-username:
                jcr:primaryType: hipposys:facetrule
                hipposys:equals: true
                hipposys:facet: nodename
                hipposys:filter: false
                hipposys:type: Name
                hipposys:value: __user__
              /type-hippo-user:
                jcr:primaryType: hipposys:facetrule
                hipposys:equals: true
                hipposys:facet: nodetype
                hipposys:filter: false
                hipposys:type: Name
                hipposys:value: hipposys:user
            /modify:
              jcr:primaryType: hipposys:authrole
              hipposys:groups: [editor, author]
              hipposys:role: modify
      

      And, because the new modify role also grants jcr:read, the same "/self" domain rule currently defined in the "default-read" domain no longer is needed (effectively moved into the "modify-user" domain.
