NEWMODULE Adding capabilities

Create one access.php file in the <<NEWMODULE>>/db directory. It must contain

• the capabilities to be installed and
• the defaults for each standard role.

A model of what has to be added is: $mod_glossary_capabilities = array(

   'mod/<<NEWMODULE>>:<<CAPABILITYNAME>>' => array(

       'riskbitmask' => RISK_SPAM | RISK_PERSONAL | RISK_XSS | RISK_CONFIG,

       'captype' => 'write',
       'contextlevel' => CONTEXT_MODULE,
       'legacy' => array(
           'student' => CAP_ALLOW,
           'teacher' => CAP_ALLOW,
           'editingteacher' => CAP_ALLOW,
           'admin' => CAP_ALLOW
       )
   ),

iterate the array 'mod/<<NEWMODULE>>:<<PERMISSIONNAME>>' for each <<CAPABILITYNAME>> you want to add following the same structure and, at the end, close the array )

The element 'riskbitmask' will be reflected in the list of icons of each row of the 'Override permissions'->roles page. You should add the right number of icon ranging from

• all four icons

       'riskbitmask' => RISK_SPAM | RISK_PERSONAL | RISK_XSS | RISK_CONFIG,

• up to no icon at all, just removing the element 'riskbitmask' from the array 'mod/<<NEWMODULE>>:<<CAPABILITYNAME>>'

The element 'captype' is ??? The element 'contextlevel' is ??? The element 'legacy' define the legacy default for that permission. It is an array and for each each element you are allowed to choose one (and only one) of this four elements: CAP_ALLOW, CAP_PREVENT, CAP_PROHIBIT, and inherit (if you don't set it). This define the default radio button selected in the 'Legacy roles' page.
