I would like to take advantage of the config override system we already have in place, in order to be able to: 1. lock a specific setting for multiple similar config files 2. disallow/override/remove a specific setting when it is an array value.
Use case: as an admin, I would like: - all user roles to have a specific permission, without anyone with access to the permissions page to be able to revoke it. - disallow a specific permission from any user role.
Consider this default example config file of the anonymous role:
{
"_config_name": "user.role.anonymous",
"name": "anonymous",
"label": "Anonymous",
"weight": "0",
"permissions": [
"access content",
"access comments",
"use text format filtered_html"
]
}
- I can do
$config['user.role.anonymous']['permissions'] = ...;
, but if I wanted that override to cover all existing roles as well as any roles added in the future (for which I don't know the machine name beforehand), then something like$config['user.role.*']['permissions'] = ...;
is not possible. In fact, I would like to exclude the admin role from that config override, so although supporting a wildcard*
would be a good first step, eventually, I'd need to be able to specify a regex; something like$config['user.role.(?!admin)']['permissions'] = ...;
- I can do something like
$config['user.role.editor']['permissions'] = ...;
, but because the permissions are an array within the json file, any value I add would override the entire permissions array. I would like a way to be able to:- specify a permission that would be added to the existing permissions in the array
- specify a permission that would be "removed" if found in the array
