[Geoserver-users] Restricting WFS-T to certain Transactions

Hi,

I guess that those who are not allowed to DELETE are not allowed to UPDATE either, or would it be acceptable to update all attributes into nulls?

···

The security module is on basis … and those are all part of the same “WFS.Transaction” operation :stuck_out_tongue:

So this would be a new feature request.

Dear List,

we currently offer some layers to our users via WFS-T which works quite well but now they requested that only some users are allowed to delete features of a layer and some other may only read and write and others may only read.

While I can easily offer solutions for keeping read and write/delete operations separate I have no idea how to separate write and delete if at the same time I need to stick to WFS-T.

I consulted the geofence documentation and found write CQL rules and indeed found fine-grained access controls but I didn’t find any solution to restrict access to certain WFS-T operations which are only distinguishable by parsing the contents of the XML body in the WFS-T request.

Did I miss something? Can somebody tell me if there is a solution in geofence or does anybody have a different solution based on WFS-T?

(I searched the mailing list archive for a solution first but my search for “WFS-T” “write” and “delete” gave me more than 65.000 hits which I could not read all).

Thank you very much for your help and ideas,
