Hi,
I've been trying to modify the user-to-group handling in CCS4. Old posts in this forum have helped me to modify the login function (almost) appropriately.
But I have a nagging question about the (presumably global) PHP variable $GroupsAccess. I see it read repeatedly, but AFAICT nothing is ever written to it, ever.
This isn't holding anything up and I hate to waste anyone's time, but I hate it when little mysteries come along that I can't solve. Can anyone tell me what this variable is doing and how it acquires a value??
TIA

Don't know
I have never used it
you migh want to try a search in all files for the variable name. It might find where it gets set an point you in the right direction

That's what I did. I had EMEditor search my entire htdocs folder. Nothing.

It's in Common.php in the CCSecurityRedirect() function.

BTW, use Edit -> Find and Replace -> Find in Files feature in CCS. Very
powerful.

Here's my one. I don't see an assignment. Is it broken?
//CCSecurityRedirect @0-F212A7B7
function CCSecurityRedirect($GroupsAccess, $URL)
{
global $_SERVER;
$ReturnPage = isset($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]) ? $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] : "";
if(!strlen($ReturnPage)) {
$ReturnPage = isset($_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"]) ? $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"] : "";
$QueryString = CCGetQueryString("QueryString", "");
if($QueryString !== "")
$ReturnPage .= "?" . $QueryString;
}
$ErrorType = CCSecurityAccessCheck($GroupsAccess);
if($ErrorType != "success")
{
if(!strlen($URL))
$Link = ServerURL . "login.php";
else
$Link = $URL;
header("Location: " . $Link . "?ret_link=" . urlencode($ReturnPage) . "&type=" . $ErrorType);
exit;
}
}
//End CCSecurityRedirect

And very slow and only searches a single project  But it did confirm what EMEditor has been saying.
Anyway, thanks for the pointers. I'm no longer sure that my question is just out of curiosity. Something does seem to be wrong, so I'll contact Support.

I have not run the search but in answer to your original question
Quote tcb:

it seems to get it's value as an argument to this function. It's value is assigned right here.
Your EMEditor or whatever must be broken if it did not show you this.
Don't know where else it's used.
I certainly would think a search thru all files would illuminate how else it gets it's value. This example in common is certainly clear how it get's it's value in this case.
Now all you gotta do is do a search and see who calls security CCSecurityRediect() and what is put into the first parameter.

I just noticed it is also an agument to this function
$ErrorType = CCSecurityAccessCheck($GroupsAccess);
This is probably the main use for this thing.
See also who calls this function. I bet you will be able to figure out what it is doing.
Datadoit pointed you to the exact place to start your investigation.

BTW Take a look at
CCSecurityAccessCheck($GroupsAccess);
This might tell you what it does and why

I am an idiot.  
It's an integer (or null) passed by every single page.
I had it stuck in my mind that it was a global.
Oh, well, thanks everyone, and sorry for the waste of bandwidth ...
