[Bug 1429325] Re: Allow public pages for staff and admins only
WorkArrocund:
I use two institutions, one with public pages NOT allowed. That is the "normal" institution that is used by every user.
Then I make some users also members of an other institution in which public pages are allowed.
So these users can create public views.
Problem: By allowing public pages in mahara also public profies are allowed. So althoug in the first institution the public pages are not allowed the user can make their profile page public.

Title:
Allow public pages for staff and admins only
Status in Mahara:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When you use Mahara with a range of different age groups, you may
prevent certain ages from creating public pages so that they don't
share their pages accidentally with the public, e.g. young children
who don't look at the sharing options carefully.
I propose we be more granular in who can create public pages and public profiles on the institution level:
- everyone
- staff and admins only
Ideally, an admin could overwrite the setting for individual "trusted"
regular users as well so that they don't need to be given the staff
role as that comes with more privileges.
And now it's looking more and more like being able to create other
roles and be able to manage permissions more like Moodle manages
capabilities...
Curently, roles are hard-coded in Mahara and thus that would need to
change first.
