[Security] Default most LORIS modules to be disabled on new installs#10354
Conversation
This changes the default schema to populate the 'Active' column to 'N' for most modules. The exceptions are: 1. login module 2. user_accounts module 3. module_manager 4. configuration module 5. dashboard module which are the modules that are required to do very basic administration (such as enabling new modules that are desired or logging in to LORIS) on a new install. This is intended to lower the attack surface of new installs, so that projects will only enable modules on an as-needed basis. Existing projects are unaffected as they are already set up.

Suggest a followup issue to clearly document this early in the install/setup documentation, with a clear walkthrough of how to activate modules quickly and easily. (Ideally without navigating to module readmes to figure out what each one does.) |
