permissions_view_only
This is a simple module that provides a read-only interface to view user role permissions without granting modification access. It's ideal for users who need to check permissions but shouldn't have the ability to change them.
Features
The Permissions List (View Only) module offers a simplified and safe way to inspect the permission settings within your Drupal site.
- Read-Only Permissions View: Displays the permissions grid familiar from Drupal core, but with all editing capabilities removed. Checkboxes are replaced with simple checkmark indicators (✓) for granted permissions.
- Leverages Filter Permissions: Inherits the filtering capabilities of the required Filter Permissions module, allowing you to easily search and filter the permissions list without needing editing rights.
- Dedicated Permission: Provides a specific Drupal permission to grant access to this view-only page, ensuring only authorized users can see it.
- Safe for Non-Admins: Allows roles like auditors, content managers, or support staff to review permission configurations without the risk of accidentally altering critical security settings.
Post-Installation
Once installed, this module provides a new local task within the /admin/people list next to the existing 'Permissions' tab (if the user has access). Grant the new permission to the desired role(s).
How to use
On the Permissions Overview page, you will see the permissions grid. You can use the filtering options provided by the Filter Permissions module, but you will not see checkboxes or a save button. Granted permissions are indicated by a checkmark (✓).
No further configuration is required beyond assigning the specific permission.
Additional Requirements
