Escc.Umbraco.Permissions

This application provides a way for anyone to see who has responsibility for updating an Umbraco page, whether or not they have an Umbraco login themselves.

Permissions API - an Umbraco NuGet package

A .NET Framework permissions API is designed to be installed into an Umbraco installation as a NuGet package. It requires Umbraco 7.x and a minimum of Umbraco 7.7. It can provide information on a page based on its published URL or its back office edit URL.

Who is responsible for this website page?

This ASP.NET Core application accepts a page URL and displays the result returned by the API above. It expects the following secrets to be defined:

{
  "Escc": {
    "Umbraco": {
      "Permissions": {
        "UserProfileUrl": "https://hostname/{0}",
        "PermissionsApiBaseUrl": "https://hostname/",
        "PublishedContentBaseUrl": "https://hostname/",
        "UmbracoUsername": "user",
        "UmbracoPassword": "password",
        "HideUsersInTheseGroups": "Group1,Group2",
        "WebTeamEmail": "[email protected]"
      }
    }
  }
}

• UserProfileUrl expects a URL to some other application where {0} is replaced by the user's Umbraco username.
• PermissionsApiBaseUrl, UmbracoUsername and UmbracoPassword are for connecting to the Umbraco instance hosting the permissions API. The username and password must be a valid Umbraco back office user.
• PublishedContentBaseUrl replaces PermissionsApiBaseUrl in the URL that is displayed to the user. In a load-balanced setup, this should be the front-end URL.
• HideUsersInTheseGroups expects a comma-separated list of Umbraco groups that should not be regarded as ordinary users, eg those containing administrators or automated processes.
• WebTeamEmail is the address queries should be sent to if no web authors are identified for a page.
