This is a brief synopsis of the steps required to add arbitrary per-application permissions to the Horde permission system.

In this example we'll add the permission "arbitrary_permission" to module foo.

in foo/lib/api.php:

$_services['perms'] = array(

'args' => array(),

'type' => '{urn:horde}stringArray'

);

and

function _foo_perms()

{

static $perms = array();

if (!empty($perms)) {

return $perms;

}

$perms['tree']['foo']['arbitrary_permission'] = false;

$perms['title']['foo:arbitrary_permission'] = _("Textual description");

$perms['type']['foo:arbitrary_permission'] = 'boolean';

$perms['param']['foo:arbitrary_permission'] = array();

return $perms;

}

Then, once you have created an object that you wish to apply those permissions to,

global $perms;

$p = $perms->newPermission('foo:arbitrary_permission');

$perms->addPermission($p);

After that, you should see the permission that you created on the permissions administration page.
