Decide guest grants explicitly instead of by permission name
guest_grantable_permissions() opened any permission whose name ended
'.view' or '.read' to the guest role, on the reasoning that reading is
the safe default. That is true of a permission gating a list of asset
numbers and false of one gating bytes, and a suffix cannot tell them
apart. Twenty-four of eighty-five qualified and none had been decided:
applications.view reached the SYSTEM-context PowerShell bodies and
the installer binaries pushed to bays
backups.view returned the full payload that the separate
backups.download permission exists to protect
assets.view gated a global search that queries the staff
directory, USB history and network inventory with
no per-domain check of its own
audit.view usernames, addresses, the before/after of every
settings.view change, and every setting row - both admin
category, opened by naming alone
users.view gates nothing at all; list_users is
require_role('admin')
Every entry is now declared, by CORE_GUEST_GRANTABLE or by the plugin
that owns the permission, having read what its routes actually return.
Adding one is a code change, which is the point: it puts the decision
in a diff rather than in a suffix.
The two routes serving script bodies and installer packages move to a
new applications.download permission, which is not grantable, so a site
can still open the catalogue metadata to its floor without the bytes
going with it.
The declared set preserves the grants this site had already chosen:
applications.view, computers.view, endpoints.view, reports.view,
tools.secrets, warranty.view.
Two known gaps are recorded on the hooks that expose them rather than
silently carried: the computer serializer publishes every column plus
resolved rdp:// and vnc:// links, and the per-asset endpoint panels are
keyed on a small integer so walking ids reconstructs much of the roster
that endpoints.fleet exists to protect. Neither is widened here.
A shipped test was granting guests audit.view and passing.
