Hi,
Sorry all, I have nothing prepared for tomorrow’s meeting, so the meeting will be on Zoom only, and may be fairly short.
If anyone has any thoughts or wants to offer to do a future presentation, you are especially welcome to join the meeting and make your thoughts or offer known to us.
Off topic:
Next month’s Melbourne meeting is likely to be the ADUG AGM. If you want to be on the committee, or have something to say in this regard, you may want to get things happening soonish.
If people are interested I could do a show and tell on what I have achieved with TMS Webcore. Not how to program in it, but rather the results I have achieved.
Unfortunately, I can’t do it tonight as I have just overhauled the Picklist System and I need to test it.
Maybe of interest to some, I made a faux pas.
I implemented authorisation using JWT (Json Web Token)
Each entity (table) gets tagged with the access right required, at the server.
I have rights such as
View_Staff (allows one to view the list and details of a staff record)
and Edit_Staff. (allows one to edit the staff record)
This has been working fine. Only the admins have been testing it.
For the first time, the Operational Manager was allowed to log in (he is not an admin)
And it bombed out just after login.
The reason being that the Staff Picklist (and 8 others) are required for many operations, which have nothing to do with Viewing or Editing a Staff. And he had no access right to view (list) the staff records.
I have just finished adding an endpoint to fetch the picklists under different access right. Now I have to test all the forms again.
