<div dir="ltr">Dear all,<div>while working on this GNIP (GNIP: GeoServer A&A Improvements)</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/issues/2374">https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/issues/2374</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>(which by the way has been updated allowing GeoNode and GeoServer to rely on OAuth2 Protocol and GeoFence)</div><div><br></div><div>we are facing an "issue" trying to set layers' access rules accordingly to GeoNode permissions.</div><div><br></div><div>Long story short, currently GeoNode allows a user to setup two different kind of Layer access permissions:</div><div><br></div><div>1. View permissions (the Layer can be visualized on map and is listed on the GeoNode layers list)</div><div><br></div><div>2. Download permissions (the Layer can be downloaded in several formats, JPEG, PNG, PDF etc...)</div><div><br></div><div>While this is correctly handled on GeoNode side, I guess there are some discrepancies on how this can be handled on the backend (GeoServer in this case).</div><div><br></div><div>The thing is, if you can download a layer on the backend you necessarily have also permissions to see it. Unless view and download use different protocols (which is not the case) to download a layer a user must have permissions to access it.</div><div><br></div><div>That means that even if in GeoNode we remove view permissions to a layer but we leave download ones, the Layer won't be listed in GeoNode but it will be always accessible from GeoServer.</div><div><br></div><div>I'm going to ask here, is it correct to maintain this logic? Should be instead put more controls on GeoNode and make view permissions take precedence on download ones (if you cannot view it you cannot download it either)? </div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?</div><div><br></div><div><div><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Best Regards,</div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Alessio Fabiani.</div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><div>==</div><div>GeoServer Professional Services from the experts!</div><div>Visit <a href="http://goo.gl/it488V" target="_blank">http://goo.gl/it488V</a> for more information.</div><div>==</div></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><br></div><div style="font-size:12.8px">Ing.
