Is anyone using this package in 1.0.2 or later? Seems like a handy feature to have on a site where I am adding many new users, but I’m a little taken aback by the lack of comments or reviews.

It’s for Resources (web pages) not users, or am I misunderstanding your intended use. I suspect it would just work, and it would take less than 5 minutes to test to find out.

Revisiting my post I can see why it was unclear -- I am interested in having inherited access permissions for resources *because* of the number of new users who would otherwise have to figure out an aspect of the manager not otherwise relevant. For what it’s worth, this feature would be right up there with having resources inherit the template of their parent in terms of usefulness in our use case. It’s subtle, but takes some of the confusion out of learning modx.

I’ll give Inherit Parent Permissions a go sometime soon and try to post my results in this thread.

For what it’s worth, I completely agree.

Added this plugin to a 1.0.2 installation and at the moment it seems to be creating duplicates of the resource group of the parent each time a new resource is created. I’m not particularly adept at the MODx API, but I’ll take a look and see if there’s anything obvious going on.

I have attached a screenshot that demonstrates the issue. I’m not sure that it’s as much that the resource group is being duplicated but rather that duplicate entries are appearing in the "Access Permissions" tab of resources that have been created since I added the plugin. The first subpage I created in this section after adding the plugin has two duplicate entries and the second, which is featured in the screenshot, has three duplicate entries. Note also how they are all three checked.

I’m not sure I’m going to be able to take this much farther, but if anyone’s browsing through this thread and might have an idea, here’s the code for Inherit Parent Permissions -- it’s a very simple add-on. I’m just not up enough on MODx internals and SQL to spot the issue here:

global $content;
$e = &$modx->Event;

switch($e->name) {
case 'OnDocFormSave':
	if($_REQUEST['parent'] > 0 && $_POST['mode']==4) {
		$table=$modx->getFullTableName('document_groups');
		$table2=$modx->getFullTableName('site_content');
		$sql='SELECT document_group FROM '.$table.' WHERE document='.$_REQUEST['parent'];
		$sql_query1=$modx->dbQuery($sql);
		while($row=mysql_fetch_array($sql_query1)){
			$result=$row['document_group'];
			if ($sql_query1!=""){
				$sql='INSERT INTO '.$table.' (document,document_group) VALUES ((SELECT id FROM '.$table2.' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1),'.$result.')';  
				$modx->dbQuery($sql);
			}
		}
	}
	break;

default:
	return;
	break;
}
