Read/write permissions

[fulv]

Is is possible to apply supermodel security attributes, i.e. https://docs.plone.org/external/plone.app.dexterity/docs/reference/dexterity-xml.html#read-permission-write-permission?

What I'm trying to do is hide a field from users who do not have the required permission.

I tried the following:
I created a custom field TTW, then exported the plone.app.users.setuphandlers.export_schema from portal_setup.

Then I added a security:read-permission to the field like this:

    <field name="account_number" type="zope.schema.TextLine" users:forms="On Registration|In User Profile"
        security:read-permission="cmf.ManagePortal"
        security:write-permission="cmf.ManagePortal">
      <description>...</description>
      <title>Account Number</title>
    </field>

Then I created a new Plone site and finally I went to portal_setup/manage_tarballImport and uploaded my modified tar-gzipped userschema.xml file.

When I create a new user that does not have the cmf.ManagePortal permission,
the field is in the @@personal-information view and it is editable and saveable.

So that doesn't work. Further, if I re-export the plone.app.users.setuphandlers.export_schema from portal_setup, I see the the userschema.xml file does not have my security:read|write-permission attributes that I imported it with.

Is there any way to achieve this?

I have the same issue today. My Workaround:

<!-- Override UserDataPanel Form -->
<browser:page
  name="personal-information"
  for="plone.app.layout.navigation.interfaces.INavigationRoot"
  layer="my.addon.interfaces.IMyAddonLayer"
  class=".userdatapanel.UserDataPanel"
  permission="cmf.SetOwnProperties" />

# userdatapanel.py
from plone.app.users.browser.userdatapanel import UserDataPanel as BaseUserDataPanel
from z3c.form.interfaces import DISPLAY_MODE

class UserDataPanel(BaseUserDataPanel):
    def updateWidgets(self):
        super(UserDataPanel, self).updateWidgets()
        self.widgets["exam_id"].mode = DISPLAY_MODE

    def __call__(self):
        return super(UserDataPanel, self).__call__()
