Cannot edit HTML. Please contact your administrator

[mdetrano]

After upgrading to Nagvis 1.9.47, this error message is shown if editing a map and adding a new object:

"Cannot edit HTML. Please contact your administrator"

Seems to be due to a recent update in the permissions management, affecting CoreAuthorisationHandler.php and ViewMapAddModify.php

NagVis/nagvis@5baf87d

Specifically, an "editHtml" permission tag was added.

I was able to get a quick fix working by editing library/nagvis-includes/CoreAuthorisationModIcingaweb2.php , and adding the editHtml permission when Icinga Web has the nagvis/edit permission:

        if ($this->auth->hasPermission('nagvis/edit')) {
            $perms['ManageShapes']      = array('manage' => array('*' => true));
            $perms['ManageBackgrounds'] = array('manage' => array('*' => true));
            $perms['Overview']['edit']  = array('*' => true);
            $perms['Map']['add']    = array('*' => true);
            $perms['Map']['edit']   = array('*' => true);
            $perms['Map']['manage'] = array('*' => true);
            $perms['Map']['editHtml'] = array('*' => true);    # <-- new permission
        }

(lines 57-65)

Just updated our nagvis install; this remains a problem...

@BastianLedererIcinga can you please have a look at this as well? Thanks!

I tried the suggested fix on a customer site and it seems to work (although I am not sure whether this would break installations with Nagvis < 1.9.48).

I put it in a PR #68. Thanks @mdetrano
