MMXII Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Please add group-based options to enable/disable pii data requests and account deletion requests so that these frontend options do not neccessarily show up for every user.

balazsp Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Agree. In lieu of this functionality previously we developed a completely different workflow that is working well, the users have accepted it - we have no intention changing that. Please make the new delete requests function optional or configurable for specific groups only. Thank you. BertT and Percival 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dll Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 As the removal of the data a legal right (in the EU / UK), how does that sit with only giving the option to certain members? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickRQ Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) IPS should finally learn after all the years, that every time they add new feature they should ask themselves a question: "is per group permission required?" personally I miss it in many areas.

Yes, although "required" might be the wrong term: Almost everything is not "required" per se. 😉 But I totally understand what you are saying here and I, too, would love to see everything being configurable. The more that can be enabled/disabled/configured the better, especially when it comes to frontend features that can be used by members or moderators. I understand that too many options might be overwhelming. However we are talking about AdminCP features here, a backend that is only used by very few experienced users, so lots of options should not be a real issue.

Too many configs is not good as well, however there is few types of configs IPS @Matt should always consider when designing a system. One of them is per group permission to display or use something. In past, at times of IPB 3x they were adding more of such, starting from IPB4 they somehow stopped doing that. Afrodude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Management Matt Posted June 21, 2023 Management Share Posted June 21, 2023 Why would you want to restrict some groups from downloading their PII or exercising their right to be forgotten? These are universally needed features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are universally needed features. Not my business here, however my personal opinion is: rules are not the same for entire world, therefore admin should be able to decide how to treat selected world areas. Some regions of the world should not be have right to be forgotten upon request. That works mostly for countries with high chance of fraud - some people call it "3rd world countries". When you sell services to such countries, some data should remain longer to protect you against eventual fraud. E.g. I specialized and designed my services to work for such countries, to avoid most of stupid EU regulations, VAT etc. I am telling you from my experience that if you have not worked with such people you will have no basic idea of how different world may look like. Group permission, as additional factor may be helpful depending of construction of specific community. Do not find my post as disrespectful to any nation or region of the world. I just state facts.

Management Matt Posted June 21, 2023 Management Share Posted June 21, 2023 So you're not sure why you want us to add a feature? I can see the need for a global on/off depending where you're operating from, and to prevent confusion for when you use SSO and user management is remote. But a per-group option doesn't make any sense in this context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just joined someone's topic and expressed my opinion. I know some communities base/categorize their users within groups. 3 minutes ago, Matt said: I can see the need for a global on/off depending where you're operating from, and to prevent confusing for when you use SSO and user management is remote. Likely per country/IP, global on off is useless if you allow entire world. Edited June 21, 2023 by PatrickRQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a per-group option doesn't make any sense in this context. Not sure about the others, but for me group-based permissions allow me to moderate. Right now you can request pii data and account deletion over and over again, even if you have downloaded the data a second ago. And for every request the admin has to react and take action. So in those cases, in order to force a member to not spam this functionality, I would (temporarily) move him to a group that is not allowed to request this information. Despite that at least a global on/off option is needed -- in order to have control whether or not you want to have this workflow. Again, even in the EU the right to be forgotten has limitations to it. Not everyone under every circumstances can refer to it, so there are situations where you don't want to offer these options.

MMXII Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 From the v4.7.12 changelog: Added ability to disable or redirect PII data requests & account deletion. So this means there will be an option to enable/disable these features? Nice! What about redirecting? Which cases does that cover?
