Feature Proposal: Create a new task priority for Security sensitive tasks

Motivation

We need an easier way to record tasks that are security sensitive, and automatically hide them until the task is closed.

Description and Documentation

• Define a new priority: Security
• Install SetVariablePlugin on foswiki.org
• Modify the Task view template to set ACLs based upon the priority
  • SETVAR if priority = Security, allow view = SecurityGroup
  • UNSETVAR if CurrentState = closed, clear the allow view setting

Implementation

Discussion

There are probably a few issues to work through: See The IRC Logs

• Trunk wouldn't have the SetVariablePlugin available. Tasks created under trunk would not get the ACL's assigned until updated on foswiki 1.1
• How does the original creator get into the ALLOWTOPICVIEW. I think it would work if the originator set the Security priority, but not if a dev assigns it later after the inital save.

This was implemented by FoswikiOrgPlugin. Marking complete.
