permissions -rw-r--r--
[hooks/security] allow edition of attributes with permissive permissions If an attribute has more permissive security rules than the entity type itself, we should be green and not deny action because of an early global entity permission check (with the more restrictive rules). Only if one attribute with the entity-level permission rules is edited will the global check be performed. Note: * the "if action == 'delete'" check at the entry of check_entity_attributes is a guard for a condition currently not happening in cubicweb itself (but application hooks could conceivably call this function with a 'delete' action) Closes #3489895.

CubicWeb features
=================

This page  tries to resume features found in the bare cubicweb framework,
how mature and documented they are.

:code maturity (CM):

  - 0: experimental, not ready at all for production, may be killed

  - 1: draft / unsatisfying, api may change in a near future, much probably in long
       term

  - 2: good enough, api sounds good but will probably evolve a bit with more
    hindsight

  - 3: mature, backward incompatible changes unexpected (may still evolve though,
    of course)


:documentation level (DL):

  - 0: no documentation

  - 1: poor documentation

  - 2: some valuable documentation but some parts keep uncovered

  - 3: good / complete documentation
