Rights management for Proxy Connectors

[ArneD <pu...@degenring.de>]

Hello all,

is it possible to configure Archiva in a way, that access to repo1 through a
proxy connector is available only for a few super users (= repository
managers)?

In my scenario, normal users should only be able to access the artifacts
available in the internal repository. In case they need a new artifact from
repo1, they ask the repository manager to add it. The repository manager
checks whether the artifact complies to e.g. company licensing rules,
whether the metadata on repo1 is ok (which is mostly but not always the
case), and so on. If everything is ok, he downloads the artifact including
all dependencies. Afterwards the artifact should be available to everybody
inside the company.

The repository observer role seems to allow access to the proxied
repositories as well, right?

Thanks
- Arne

I like this idea - can you file a feature request?

I agree with Wendy - a permission on the remote repository seems to
make the most sense.

I don't think the permissions scheme supports this right now, but it's
an interesting idea.  What would the new role be called?  Proxy
Observer?

Or would we just have an Observer role for the proxied repo itself,
rather than for the connector?
