Trac - Admin

Backup

trac-admin /path/to/projenv hotcopy C:\temp\trac-2008-06-04

Note: The hotcopy command will create the destination folder.

Groups

Permission groups can be created by assigning a user to a group you wish to create, then assign permissions to that group.

The following will add bob to the new group called beta_testers and then will assign WIKI_ADMIN permissions to that group:

trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add bob beta_testers
trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add beta_testers WIKI_ADMIN

Default Groups

Default permissions for these groups are:

Group

Actions

anonymous

BROWSER_VIEW CHANGESET_VIEW FILE_VIEW LOG_VIEW MILESTONE_VIEW REPORT_SQL_VIEW REPORT_VIEW ROADMAP_VIEW SEARCH_VIEW TICKET_VIEW TIMELINE_VIEW WIKI_VIEW

authenticated

TICKET_CREATE TICKET_MODIFY WIKI_CREATE WIKI_MODIFY

Tickets

Remove

Cannot delete tickets from the UI, so use the admin command:

trac-admin /path/to/projenv ticket remove 25

Users

List

trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission list

Add Permissions

  • See Authentication for details on how to create the users.

  • After the user is created, you can give them permsissions:

    To make patrick a super user:

    trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission add patrick TRAC_ADMIN

Note: To get access to the “View Tickets” link, you need to add the REPORT_VIEW” permission.

Remove Permissions

trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove bob WIKI_MODIFY

Note:

  • Only permissions added with trac-admin can be removed by trac-admin.

  • A standard Trac installation includes default permissions for anonymous and authenticated groups. To remove permissions from a user, you might need to remove these default permissions e.g. to remove permission to modify wiki entries for authenticated users:

    trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove authenticated WIKI_MODIFY

  • The default permissions are probably fine for an open source project, but they allow everyone to view the wiki and source code, so are not suitable for commercial projects.

    You probably want to remove all permissions from the anonymous and authenticated groups and then add permissions to individuals as required (see Groups above):

    trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove anonymous '*'
trac-admin /path/to/projenv permission remove authenticated '*'

    See “Default Groups” above for a list of the default permissions.

Web Interface

Add the following to conf/trac.ini:

[components]
webadmin.* = enabled

Note: This appears to be enabled in the most recent version of Trac.
