Frappe Draw: Writer-style diagram sharing (view/comment/edit) — backend

[vibhavkatre]

What & why

Roadmap item — share a diagram with view / comment / edit access like Frappe Writer. Built entirely on Frappe core DocShare + a custom "comment" permission type — no Frappe Drive dependency. (Drive file-tree registration and Yjs realtime collab are separately-scoped follow-ups, per the research.)

Changes

• register_comment_permission_type patch: registers a "comment" Permission Type for Draw Diagram (adds a comment Check to DocShare + the doctype's perm rules). Idempotent; no-ops on Frappe versions without Permission Type.
• draw/api/share.py: whitelisted share_diagram(name, user, level) / unshare_diagram / get_diagram_shares / set_public. Levels → DocShare flags: view={read}, comment={read,comment}, edit={read,comment,write,share}. Public reuses the diagram's is_public. All gated on the caller holding share.
• draw/api/permission.py + permission_query_conditions: list visibility now includes diagrams shared with the user (DocShare) and public ones, on top of owner-scoped access. Document-level read/write come from DocShare; comment via frappe.has_permission("Draw Diagram","comment",doc=…).

Testing

bench --site … run-tests --app draw → 6 pass, incl. 3 new: a shared user gets read+write+comment on edit, read-only on view, and no access after unshare — all asserted through frappe.has_permission while acting as that user. (CI server-tests runs the same on a fresh site.)

Next

• Share dialog UI — port Drive's ShareDialog.vue (user autocomplete + per-user view/comment/edit dropdown + public-link toggle), calling these APIs.
• Realtime collab (Yjs, modeled on Writer) — separate milestone.
• Drive file registration (a File row with content_doctype=Draw Diagram) — only if Draw must live inside Drive; needs Drive as a required_app.

Confidence Score: 4/5

get_diagram_shares is gated on read rather than share, so any view-only collaborator can enumerate all other collaborators and their access levels by calling it directly.

get_diagram_shares uses frappe.has_permission("Draw Diagram", "read", ...) as its gate, which passes for view-only shared users. A view user can therefore call the endpoint directly and retrieve the full collaborator list with access levels — a privilege that should require share access.

draw/api/share.py — the get_diagram_shares permission gate needs attention.

[greptile-apps]

get_diagram_shares only requires read permission, so any "view"-only user can call it and get the full share list (every collaborator's email + their access level). The PR description says all endpoints are "gated on the caller holding share" — this one is not. Change the gate to share.
