V2 Design Issues

Documents, Revisions and Folders

How design the access rights for documents and revisions.

Assumptions:

1. Customers are likely to understand folders as a means of controlling who can view and update documents and revisions

Long-Term requirements:

1. It should be possible to hide documents from certain users
2. It should be possible to hide specific revisions from certain users
   1. Because the latest revision is not complete or not yet issued
   2. Because an intermediate revision is not issued

Issues:

1. If a revision belongs to a folder, how are updates to its document recode, the document code and classifications, controlled?
2. If a document belongs to a folder, including all its revisions, how can you hide/show specific revisions?

Ideas:

1. Have a 'hidden flag' in revisions and an extra read role that allows viewing of hidden revisions
   1. The normal view role would not show hidden revisions
   2. Update role would include the ability to view hidden revisions

Suggested implementation

1. For now, implement a folder_id in documents. No folder_id in revisions. No hidden flag

Vagrant File Shares

1. There are potential performance issues with native Vagrant share_folder

   1. We should do performance tests of document access and backups
