Chapter 18. Access Control Lists (ACLs)

From open-support.info

Jump to: navigation, search

From OTRS 2.0 on, Access Control Lists (ACLs) can be used to control access to tickets, modules, queues, etc., or to influence actions on tickets (closing, moving, etc.) in certain situations. ACLs can be used to supplement the existing permission system of roles and groups . Using ACLs, rudimental workflows within the system can be mapped, based on ticket attributes.

As yet, ACLs cannot be created using the SysConfig interface. They must be directly entered into the Kernel/Config.pm file. Some ACL examples are listed below (Example 18-1, 18-2 and 18-3):

Example 18.1. ACL allowing movement into a queue of only those tickets with ticket priority 5.
    # ticket acl
    $Self->{TicketAcl}->{'ACL-Name-2'} = {
        # match properties
        Properties => {
            # current ticket match properties
            Ticket => {
                Queue => ['Raw'],
                Priority => ['5 very high'],
            }
        },
        # return possible options (white list)
        Possible => {
            # possible ticket options (white list)
            Ticket => {
                Queue => ['Alert'],
            },
        },
    };
Example 18.2. ACL disabling the closing of tickets in the raw queue, and hiding the close button.
    $Self->{TicketAcl}->{'ACL-Name-1'} = {
        # match properties
        Properties => {
            # current ticket match properties
            Ticket => {
                Queue => ['Raw'],
            }
        },
        # return possible options (white list)
        Possible => {
            # possible ticket options (white list)
            Ticket => {
                State => ['new', 'open', 'pending reminder'],
            },
            # possible action options
            Action => {
                AgentTicketLock => 1,
                AgentTicketZoom => 1,
                AgentTicketClose => 0,
                AgentTicketPending => 1,
                AgentTicketNote => 1,
                AgentTicketHistory => 1,
                AgentTicketPriority => 1,
                AgentTicketFreeText => 1,
                AgentTicketHistory => 1,
                AgentTicketCompose => 1,
                AgentTicketBounce => 1,
                AgentTicketTicketPrint => 1,
                AgentTicketForward => 1,
                AgentTicketTicketLink => 1,
                AgentTicketPrint => 1,
                AgentTicketPhone => 1,
                AgentTicketCustomer => 1,
                AgentTicketOwner => 1,
            },
        },
    };
</pr>
}}

In Script 18.1 there is a list of all parameters which can be used for ACLs.
