After discussing with @slint and @zzacharo at different times, there are differing opinions on the approach: zzach View: Suggest a UI confirmation modal instead. My Position: I believe a permission-based approach is the most effective to prevent accidental self-harm actions. Looking forward to your thoughts to move forward. |
I would say that if the case of preventing a self action is a core requirement then acting on permission level is necessary. That said, from the UI point of view, as also @kpsherva said in our latest call, we need to ensure that such actions are blocked in the UI and/or use a confirmation modal. |
I think that's why we try to enforce this kind of things via permissions, since it's the closest we have to syncing backend + frontend without having to touch both. E.g. if the REST API serializes For the confirmation modals or having more user-friendly messages/popovers, it becomes difficult, since the frontend has to reason about "you can block this user, because it's you" vs. "you don't have permission to block this user". Again, I'm not sure if the Admin UI right now supports this style, but I also feel that if we want it to, doing it via permissions is the better path. |

* The problem is that an admin could block his own account. With this change it is possible to prevent the admin from doing that. * Prevent self-action for: block, deactivate, restore, activate and approve. * Update tests for self-action prevention * introduce PreventSelf generator * introduce _check_manage_permissions in users service * add "PreventSelf" into "can_manage" permission
