TYPO3 Core

So what would you see as expected behaviour?

That an admin either sees the root or the mounts from the groups. So that never the mounts and the root are shown alongside .

dontMountAdminMounts option allows the inverse of my suggested change. The correct bahviour IMHO would be (pseudo-code):

if(isAdmin && !dontMountAdminMounts) {
  // render ONLY root - this case is missing currently
} else
  // render ONLY db_mountpoints in any other case (non-admin or dontMountAdminMounts = true)
}

Optionally, add a new setting that allows specifying whether admins see only the mounts, only the root or explicitly both.

The place in the core:

// Admin's always have the root mounted
if ($this->isAdmin() && !($this->getTSConfig()['options.']['dontMountAdminMounts'] ?? false)) {
    $this->dataLists['webmount_list'] = '0,' . $this->dataLists['webmount_list'];
}

The original webmount_list should't be appended here, IMHO (or add new setting that allows to specify this explicitly). (also the comment is wrong, obviously admins not always have the root mounted with the TS setting ;))

Hey Stefan,

yes. But then there is another option when editing a user (admin and non-admin), called "Mount from groups" on each user, which allows to disable the inclusion of webmounts from usergroups. Removing the checkbox there does exactly what you suggested?

And how can i configure this to be like the following? :)

• false for all admins (ever, no matter if a user becomes admin later)
• true for non-admins (ever, no matter if an admin becomes a non-admin later)
• checkbox always hidden (I don't want to care per-user / per-user-change)

I'm talking about an installation with many-hundreds users where its can happen that a user becomes admin and later a normal user again. We don't want to have to care about assinging/removing user groups/checkboxes on any user-change. In our case we need "admin sees the root (and only the root, always), non-admin sees his personal mounts (and only these, always)"

OK. A (new) TSconfig option would not help in this case then, I think. What I suggest you can do is:

• Create an extension with a DataHandler hook, checking if an admin is transformed into a non-admin, and remove the checkboxes, and vice versa when transforming from a non-admin to an admin.
• In addition, create a CLI command to check the checkboxes for all existing users to set the property accordingly.
