Permissions to use Manual Crop

This is currently not possible, but I think it would be fairly easy to add this by wrapping some functions in a permission-checking if().

Having to make content editors admins is not a feature, setting to bug.

Coming from Crop + MEDIA works only for Admin and not for authenticated users that has been marked as duplicate of this one.

I think Manual Crop have to seriously manage permissions better, otherwise it would not be usable in all situations: marking this bug as 'major' for this reason.

Thank you very much for considering this

I don't agree with the "bug" category nor the "major" priority. This is an additional feature because there aren't any permission issues in "normal situations".

What kind of permissions would you like to see implemented? A global permission or a field-specific one?

I think the permissions actually do work, but they are not part of manual crop.
It's just a matter of updating documentation.

Expected behaviour
- Install & configure module
- Go to permissions and check 'use manual crop'

But to be able to use manual crop you have to give the role permission to edit the file type (right?).
It's a bit confusing, cause with just normal permissions an authenticated user can upload and delete images within an image field, but not crop them.

Expected behaviour
- Install & configure module
- Go to permissions and check 'use manual crop'

Actually there isn't a "use manual crop" permission, but only "administer manual crop": I don't want to give my authenticated user "administer manual crop" permission to manage manual crop settings in admin pages. They only have to do crop on their uploaded images, using settings setted up by admin.

File entity permission as setted here:

should be enough, but cropping DOESN'T WORKS for authenticated users, only for user 1 (admin). Please refer to Crop + MEDIA works only for Admin and not for authenticated users for all the info.

Actually I think what's happening to me isn't related to the original request in this thread (that ask for other additional permission), so I'll reopen my Crop + MEDIA works only for Admin and not for authenticated users issue and ask Matthijs (please!) to give a replay there.

Thank you very much

A permission has been added!

Is this nesessery media module too?
