Functions for Settings

Introduction

The functions control access to view or modify settings. Settings come in 3 categories

Settings for WEBSITE: Controls both visuals and functions in the front-ends
Settings for ORGANISATION:
- Regular (Privilege: User or Admin)
- Sensitive: for secrets, keys, etc (Privilege: Zeticon)
System settings: Installation-wide configuration of services

Users

Regular users don’t require these functions because every user has read access to the settings WEBSITE and ORGANISATION (non-sensitive) from their own organisation.

Functions `23.2`

In version 23.2 we have greatly simplified the required functions for managing settings into

Settings	Required functions
WEBSITE (your organisation)	`VIEW_ADMIN_SETTINGS`
WEBSITE (other organisation)	`VIEW_ADMIN_SETTINGS` + `ADMIN_VIEW_ALL_ORGANISATIONS`
ORGANISATION (yours)	`VIEW_ADMIN_SETTINGS`
ORGANISATION (other)	`VIEW_ADMIN_SETTINGS` + `ADMIN_VIEW_ALL_ORGANISATIONS`
ORGANISATION SENSITIVE (yours)	`VIEW_SYSTEM_SETTINGS`
ORGANISATION SENSITIVE (others)	`VIEW_SYSTEM_SETTINGS` + `ADMIN_VIEW_ALL_ORGANISATIONS`
SYSTEM	`VIEW_SYSTEM_SETTINGS`

For editing settings, the user needs to corresponding edit functions instead of the view functions

EDIT_ADMIN_SETTINGS
EDIT_SYSTEM_SETTINGS
ADMIN_EDIT_ALL_ORGANISATIONS
