Permissions on subpage only

Kirby 2 Solved ✅

I’m hoping someone can help me with permissions. I have a site with a structure like

Root Page (root template)
	-Parent Page (parent template)
		- Subpage1 (sub1 template)
		- Subpage2 (sub1 template)
	-Parent Page (parent template)
		- Subpage3 (sub2 template)
		- Subpage4 (sub1 template)
Root Page (root template)
	-Parent Page (parent template)
		- Subpage5 (sub3 template)
Root Page (root template)	
	-Parent Page (parent template)
		- Subpage6 (sub2 template)
		- Subpage7 (sub4 template)

I am trying to set up permissions to allow a user access to only Subpage3 and not allow them to see other pages in the panel.

What I have tried is:

<?php
// site/roles/editor.php
return [
  'name'        => 'Editor',
  'default'     => false,
  'permissions' => [
    '*'            => true,
    'panel.site.*' => true,
    'panel.user.*' => false,
    'panel.page.*' => false,

'panel.page.read' => function() {
  return $this->target()->page()->template() == 'sub3';
}
]
];
?>

But that does not work. It does not show any page.

Using User permissions templates and their child as a guide I tried:

'panel.page.read' => function() {
  return $this->target()->page()->template() == 'root' || 
$this->target()->page()->template() == 'parent' ||
$this->target()->page()->template() == 'sub3';

Which does allow access to sub3 but also allows all root, and parent pages to be shown and edited. Is there a way to show only Subpage3 in the panel?

Root Page (root template)
	-Parent Page (parent template)
		- Subpage3 (sub2 template)

And allow only the contents of Subpage3 to be edited? I am new to Kirby but am finding Kirby to be a very flexible I hope there is some solution.

This is just an untested guess, but maybe it works …

'panel.page.read' => function() {
  return $this->target()->page()->template() == 'sub3' || $this->target()->page()->index()->filter(function($child){
    return $child->template() == 'sub3';
  });
}

To allow updating of subpages, the parent pages must at least be readable, otherwise there is no way to access them. You can then limit editing to only the “sub3” template:

<?php
// site/roles/editor.php
return [
  'name'        => 'Editor',
  'default'     => false,
  'permissions' => [
    '*'            => true,
    'panel.site.*' => true,
    'panel.user.*' => false,
    'panel.page.*' => false,

    'panel.page.read' => function() {
      return $this->target()->page()->template() == 'root' ||
        $this->target()->page()->template() == 'parent' ||
        $this->target()->page()->template() == 'sub3';
    },
    'panel.page.update' => function() {
      return $this->target()->page()->template() == 'sub3';
    }
  ]
];

You can try to narrow the read function down a bit:

<?php
// site/roles/editor.php
return [
  'name'        => 'Editor',
  'default'     => false,
  'permissions' => [
    '*'            => true,
    'panel.site.*' => true,
    'panel.user.*' => false,
    'panel.page.*' => false,

    'panel.page.read' => function() {
      if($this->target()->page()->template() == 'sub3' || (($this->target()->page()->template() == 'root' || $this->target()->page('parent')) && $this->target()->page()->index()->filterBy('template', 'sub3')->count() > 0)) {
        return true;
      }
    },
    'panel.page.update' => function() {
      return $this->target()->page()->template() == 'sub3';
    }
  ]
];

This should grant read access to parent pages only if they actually contain a descendent with template sub3, but not to ancestors that contain only children with templates of types other than sub3.
