Allow Deactivation of Info Pages

1 Initial Problem

The Abandonment of some sections on the Info Page leads to possibly empty Info Pages, depending on configuration (see Abandon Adding Tags on «Info-Page» and Allow Deactivation of LOM-Tab/Subtab). Even when there is content on the Info Page, it might not always be useful.

2 Conceptual Summary

To avoid offering a useless view to users, it should be possible to deactivate the Info Page by object. This mechanism should be centralized in the Object component, and used by all repository objects. Apparently this mechanism already exists as on object property.

  • Deactivation in object settings, or in the administration? By object type or by individual object?
  • What to do about users with visible but no read permission? Can that be decided for all object types?
  • Scope? Implementing this in all relevant components will probably take a few releases (see online/offline). What do we do in the meantime?
