Member Function Documentation

◆ addTemporaryUserRights()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::addTemporaryUserRights	(	UserIdentity	$user,
			$rights
	)

Add temporary user rights, only valid for the current function scope.

This is meant for making it possible to programatically trigger certain actions that the user wouldn't be able to trigger themselves; e.g. allow users without the bot right to make bot-flagged actions through certain special pages.

This returns a "scope guard" variable. Its only purpose is to be stored in a variable by the caller, which is automatically closed at the end of the function, at which point the rights are revoked again. Alternatively, you can close it earlier by consuming it via ScopedCallback::consume().

Since: 1.34

Parameters

UserIdentity	$user
string \| string[]	$rights

Returns: ScopedCallback

Definition at line 1799 of file PermissionManager.php.

References MediaWiki\User\UserIdentity\getId().

◆ getAllPermissions()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::getAllPermissions ( )

Get a list of all available permissions.

Since: 1.34

Returns: string[] Array of permission names

Definition at line 1660 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ getGroupPermissions()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::getGroupPermissions ( $groups )

Get the permissions associated with a given list of groups.

Since: 1.34

Deprecated:: since 1.36, hard-deprecated since 1.40. Use GroupPermissionsLookup instead.

Parameters

string[] $groups internal group names

Returns: string[] permission key names for given groups combined

Definition at line 1578 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ getGroupsWithPermission()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::getGroupsWithPermission ( $role )

Get all the groups who have a given permission.

Since: 1.34

Deprecated:: since 1.36, hard-deprecated since 1.40. use GroupPermissionsLookup instead.

Parameters

string $role Role to check

Returns: string[] internal group names with the given permission

Definition at line 1591 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ getNamespaceRestrictionLevels()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::getNamespaceRestrictionLevels	(		$index,
		UserIdentity	$user = `null`
	)

Determine which restriction levels it makes sense to use in a namespace, optionally filtered by a user's rights.

Parameters

int	$index	Namespace ID (index) to check
UserIdentity \| null	$user	User to check

Returns: string[]

Definition at line 1698 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ getPermissionErrors()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::getPermissionErrors	(		$action,
		User	$user,
		LinkTarget	$page,
			$rigor = `self::RIGOR_SECURE`,
			$ignoreErrors = `[]`
	)

Can $user perform $action on a page?

Todo:: FIXME: This does not check throttles (User::pingLimiter()).

Parameters

string	$action	Action that permission needs to be checked for
User	$user	User to check
LinkTarget	$page
string	$rigor	One of PermissionManager::RIGOR_ constants RIGOR_QUICK : does cheap permission checks from replica DBs (usable for GUI creation) RIGOR_FULL : does cheap and expensive checks possibly from a replica DB RIGOR_SECURE : does cheap and expensive checks, using the primary DB as needed
string[]	$ignoreErrors	Set this to a list of message keys whose corresponding errors may be ignored.

Returns: array[] Array of arrays of the arguments to wfMessage to explain permissions problems.

Definition at line 341 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ getUserPermissions()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::getUserPermissions ( UserIdentity $user )

Get the permissions this user has.

Since: 1.34

Parameters

UserIdentity $user

Returns: string[] permission names

Definition at line 1476 of file PermissionManager.php.

References User\newFromIdentity().

◆ groupHasPermission()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::groupHasPermission	(	$group,
		$role
	)

Check, if the given group has the given permission.

If you're wanting to check whether all users have a permission, use PermissionManager::isEveryoneAllowed() instead. That properly checks if it's revoked from anyone.

Since: 1.34

Deprecated:: since 1.36, hard-deprecated since 1.40. Use GroupPermissionsLookup instead.

Parameters

string	$group	Group to check
string	$role	Role to check

Returns: bool

Definition at line 1565 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ invalidateUsersRightsCache()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::invalidateUsersRightsCache ( $user = null )

Clear the in-process permission cache for one or all users.

Since: 1.34

Parameters

UserIdentity | null $user If a specific user is provided it will clear the permission cache only for that user.

Definition at line 1533 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ isBlockedFrom()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::isBlockedFrom	(	User	$user,
			$page,
			$fromReplica = `false`
	)

Check if user is blocked from editing a particular article.

If the user does not have a block, this will return false.

Parameters

User	$user
PageIdentity \| LinkTarget	$page	Title to check
bool	$fromReplica	Whether to check the replica DB instead of the primary DB

Returns: bool

Definition at line 403 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ isEveryoneAllowed()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::isEveryoneAllowed ( $right )

Check if all users may be assumed to have the given permission.

We generally assume so if the right is granted to '*' and isn't revoked on any group. It doesn't attempt to take grants or other extension limitations on rights into account in the general case, though, as that would require it to always return false and defeat the purpose. Specifically, session-based rights restrictions (such as OAuth or bot passwords) are applied based on the current session.

Since: 1.34

Parameters

string $right Right to check

Returns: bool

Definition at line 1610 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ overrideUserRightsForTesting()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::overrideUserRightsForTesting	(	$user,
		$rights = `[]`
	)

Override the user permissions cache.

Definition at line 1816 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ quickUserCan()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::quickUserCan	(		$action,
		User	$user,
		LinkTarget	$page
	)

A convenience method for calling PermissionManager::userCan with PermissionManager::RIGOR_QUICK.

Suitable for use for nonessential UI controls in common cases, but not for functional access control. May provide false positives, but should never provide a false negative.

See also: PermissionManager::userCan()

Parameters

string	$action
User	$user
LinkTarget	$page

Returns: bool

Definition at line 319 of file PermissionManager.php.

◆ throwPermissionErrors()

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::throwPermissionErrors	(		$action,
		User	$user,
		LinkTarget	$page,
			$rigor = `self::RIGOR_SECURE`,
			$ignoreErrors = `[]`
	)

Like getPermissionErrors, but immediately throw if there are any errors.

Parameters

string	$action	Action that permission needs to be checked for
User	$user	User to check
LinkTarget	$page
string	$rigor	One of PermissionManager::RIGOR_ constants RIGOR_QUICK : does cheap permission checks from replica DBs (usable for GUI creation) RIGOR_FULL : does cheap and expensive checks possibly from a replica DB RIGOR_SECURE : does cheap and expensive checks, using the primary DB as needed
string[]	$ignoreErrors	Set this to a list of message keys whose corresponding errors may be ignored.

Exceptions

PermissionsError

Definition at line 380 of file PermissionManager.php.

MediaWiki\Permissions\PermissionManager::userCan	(		$action,
		User	$user,
		LinkTarget	$page,
			$rigor = `self::RIGOR_SECURE`
