📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

FAQ permissions now separate viewing, editing, and publishing. Read scopes filter FAQ access by user, category, and language. Controllers, administration views, migrations, and tests enforce and document the new behavior.

Shows editable publication controls only when allowed and preserves the current state for users without publish permission.
Default grants and permission migration

Behavior coverage and documentation
tests/phpMyFAQ/**/*, phpmyfaq/admin/assets/src/content/faqs.overview.test.ts, docs/administration.md, docs/update.md, CHANGELOG.md
Adds coverage for read scopes, publication authorization, permission migration, and administration rendering. Documentation describes the new permission model.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fb558

This PR separates FAQ read and publish permissions, but the current head still has PHP static-analysis failures, a permissive no-scope authorization default that could expose FAQ rows to future callers, and per-result database lookups that may slow large searches; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

200-234: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add coverage for direct-user language restrictions.

This test only mirrors restrictions from group 7. PermissionBackfillOperation also mirrors user language restrictions in a separate path. Add a user with restricted FAQ_APPROVE access for de, then assert that FAQ_PUBLISH receives the same restriction.

This prevents an upgrade regression that could widen a user's publish scope.

2154-2208: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover the isAllowedToPublish list response.

The new helper provides the no-publish state. The existing listByCategory() coverage only asserts isAllowedToTranslate. Add assertions that isAllowedToPublish is true with createAuthenticatedContainer() and false with createContainerWithoutPublishPermission().

This protects the API contract used by phpmyfaq/admin/assets/src/content/faqs.overview.test.ts. A missing field would hide publication controls for authorized users.

- Around line 764-768: Update the update() flow so that before
FaqEntity::setActive(), it resolves the current FAQ categories and calls
userMayPublish() for the requested language; reject activation-state changes
when the caller lacks FAQ_PUBLISH, while preserving the existing FAQ_EDIT
authorization and normal updates.
- Around line 764-768: Preserve the validated boolean result for is-active
before the publish-permission check in the FAQ creation flow, rather than
deriving it from nullability so an explicit false remains false. Use that
preserved value for both the $isActive condition and the subsequent FAQ creation
state, while keeping the existing userMayPublish call for true values.

In `@phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Controller/Frontend/FaqController.php`:
- Around line 291-295: Extract the FAQ user/group context setup from show() into
a shared helper, then invoke that helper before the FAQ lookups in solution()

currentUser->getUserId() and setGroups() uses the current group collection so
scoped access is applied consistently.

In `@phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Faq/ReadScope.php`:
- Around line 154-170: Update the category filtering logic in ReadScope to
accept and use the outer faqcategoryrelations alias when QueryHelper::getQuery()
provides one, constraining that alias to the scoped category IDs so projected
and aggregate categories cannot be denied. Retain the EXISTS predicate only when
no outer relation alias is available, and build both SQL paths through the
existing database abstraction rather than inline SQL.

In `@phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Faq/Statistics.php`:
- Around line 481-485: Update totalFaqs() to apply the resolved readScope
predicate to its count query, using the fd alias so category- and
language-restricted users are counted only within their permitted FAQ scope.

In `@phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/Search/SearchResultSet.php`:
- Around line 148-163: Update isWithinReadScope so restricted scopes fail closed
when lang or category_id is missing or cannot be normalized; do not accept such
hits into reviewedResultSet. For incomplete hits, use the FAQ ID to load the
full FAQ and authorize it through the existing ReadScope checks before returning
it, while preserving unrestricted behavior and direct field validation for
complete hits.

In `@phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/User.php`:
- Around line 462-467: Propagate permission-write failures instead of ignoring
them: in phpmyfaq/src/phpMyFAQ/User.php lines 462-467, update User::createUser()

Require a read scope for known users. $readScope defaults to ReadScope::unrestricted(), which emits no read filter. This permits new QueryHelper(42, $groups) and allows FaqRepository to pass a nullable scope with a positive user ID. Require ReadScope, or reject positive user IDs without one.

175-215: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Batch the fallback lookup to avoid one query per hit.

isWithinReadScope() calls isStoredFaqWithinReadScope() from inside the foreach over $this->rawResultSet. Each call runs its own SELECT. A search backend that omits lang or category_id triggers this path for every raw hit, so a result set of N hits issues N queries on a request thread.

Resolve the incomplete IDs in one query before the loop, then evaluate the scope in memory.

Restore a typed FAQ row contract before this loop.

The PHP 8.4, 8.5, and 8.6 checks fail at Line 597 and Line 600 because $faqData is inferred as mixed. Define a list row shape for FaqAdministration::getAllFaqsByCategory() so the producer guarantees an array with at least id and optional isAllowedToPublish keys. Do not hide this with a caller-side is_array() skip.

179-184: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the supplied category_id during stored-row authorization.

When lang is missing but category_id is present, Line 179 uses the fallback. Lines 180-184 discard $categoryId. Line 242 then authorizes any stored category for the FAQ.

If an FAQ belongs to both an allowed category and a denied category, a hit for the denied category passes through the allowed stored row. This differs from the complete-hit path at Line 187 and can expose question data outside the read scope.

Pass $categoryId into isStoredFaqWithinReadScope() and require matching stored rows when it is present. Add a regression test for a hit with a missing language and a denied supplied category.

Proposed fix
         if ($language === null || $categoryId === null) {
             return $this->isStoredFaqWithinReadScope(
                 $readScope,
                 $storedRowsByFaq[(int) ($result->id ?? 0)] ?? [],
                 $language,
+                $categoryId,
             );
         }

-    private function isStoredFaqWithinReadScope(ReadScope $readScope, array $storedRows, ?string $language): bool
+    private function isStoredFaqWithinReadScope(
+        ReadScope $readScope,
+        array $storedRows,
+        ?string $language,
+        ?int $categoryId,
+    ): bool
     {
         foreach ($storedRows as $row) {
             if ($language !== null && (string) $row->lang !== $language) {
                 continue;
             }
+            if ($categoryId !== null && (int) $row->category_id !== $categoryId) {
+                continue;
