File Object =========== # General Information The file object is the files that were created in the magazine via ‘Add new Object’. The file object uses many of the central file services and also offers WOPI actions, for example. # Capabilities The file object uses an internal mechanism to handle all the ‘functions’ that a user with a file object can perform. The capabilities currently check authorisations, whether WOPI actions are available for a file and also certain settings per object. The capabilities per user and file object are calculated once per request and are then used to provide links to actions, create tabs and also handle static URLs, for example. In particular, the capabilities are also used to decide which action to open by default when clicking on a file object in the magazine. Here is a list (based on unit tests) of cases in which a default action is to be expected: | User's Permissions | WOPI View Action av. | WOPI Edit Action av. | Click-Setting | Expected Capability | | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | -------------------- | ------------- | ------------------- | | read | Yes | Yes | Open | DOWNLOAD | | write, read | Yes | Yes | Open | DOWNLOAD | | edit_file | Yes | Yes | Open | EDIT_EXTERNAL | | read, visible | No | No | Info-Page | FORCED_INFO_PAGE | | read, visible | Yes | Yes | Info-Page | FORCED_INFO_PAGE | | read, write, visible, edit_file, view_content | Yes | Yes | Info-Page | FORCED_INFO_PAGE | | write, read | Yes | Yes | Info-Page | FORCED_INFO_PAGE | | visible | Yes | Yes | Open | INFO_PAGE | | write | Yes | Yes | Open | MANAGE_VERSIONS | | none | Yes | Yes | Open | NONE | | edit_file, view_content | Yes | Yes | Open | VIEW_EXTERNAL | | read, write, visible, edit_file, view_content | Yes | Yes | Open | VIEW_EXTERNAL |
