📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughFAQ permissions now separate viewing, editing, and publishing. Read scopes filter FAQ access by user, category, and language. Controllers, administration views, migrations, and tests enforce and document the new behavior. ChangesFAQ read and publish permissions
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to The change introduces separate FAQ read and publish permissions, but the current implementation can expose out-of-scope FAQ data, mishandle access-controlled redirects, report failed permission grants as successful, and allow unauthorized or incorrect publication changes. These are high-impact authorization and correctness risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Enforce FAQ_PUBLISH in update().
create() now checks userMayPublish(). update() still persists is-active after checking only FAQ_EDIT. An API user with FAQ_EDIT but without FAQ_PUBLISH can publish or unpublish an FAQ.
Before FaqEntity::setActive(), resolve the current FAQ categories and reject a state change unless userMayPublish() permits it.

Preserve the validated is-active value.
Line 761 converts false to true because !is_null(false) is true. A request with "is-active": false therefore requires publish permission and, for a publisher, creates an active FAQ.
Keep the boolean result before this permission check.

Initialize FAQ access context before every lookup.
These lines fix show(), but solution() calls $this->faq->getIdFromSolutionId() and contentRedirect() calls $this->faq->getFaqResult() without user or group context. A scoped user can receive a redirect containing a denied FAQ title, or fail to resolve an FAQ shared with that user.
Extract the setup into one helper. Call it before the lookups in solution(), contentRedirect(), and show().

Filter the projected category relation.
The EXISTS predicate allows an FAQ when it has one permitted category. It does not filter an outer faqcategoryrelations join. QueryHelper::getQuery() can therefore return a denied fcr.category_id for an FAQ that also belongs to an allowed category. Statistics can also select a denied category with MIN(fcr.category_id).
Pass the outer relation alias when it exists, and constrain that alias to the scoped category IDs. Keep the EXISTS fallback only for queries with no outer category relation.
Also move this new SQL construction behind the existing database abstraction. As per coding guidelines, “Do not add inline SQL; use the existing database abstraction layer.”

Apply the read scope in totalFaqs().
setUser() now resolves a scope, but totalFaqs() does not use it. A category- or language-restricted user can receive a count that includes FAQs outside that user’s scope.
Add the ReadScope predicate to the count query, with an fd alias.

Fail closed for incomplete scoped search hits.
When ReadScope is restricted, this method allows a hit that lacks lang or category_id. The hit then remains in reviewedResultSet with its question data.
Require normalized language and category fields before accepting a scoped hit. If a backend cannot provide them, load and authorize the FAQ by ID before returning the hit.
