Checklist

Reviewing is a process done by project maintainers, mostly on a volunteer basis. We try to keep the overhead as small as possible and appreciate if you help us to do so by completing the following items. Feel free to ask in a comment if you have troubles with any of them.

For all pull requests:

  • Confirm you have read the contribution guidelines
  • You have sent a Contribution Licence Agreement (CLA) as necessary (not required for small changes, e.g., fixing typos in the documentation)
  • Make sure the first PR targets the master branch, eventual backports will be managed later. This can be ignored if the PR is fixing an issue that only happens in a specific branch, but not in newer ones.

The following are required only for core and extension modules (they are welcomed, but not required, for contrib modules):

  • There is a ticket in https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/issues describing the issue/improvement/feature (a notable exemption is, changes not visible to end-users)
  • The issue connected to the PR must have Labels and Milestone assigned
  • PR for bug fixes and small new features are presented as a single commit
  • PR title must be in the form "[Fixes #<issue_number>] Title of the PR"
  • New unit tests have been added covering the changes, unless there is an explanation on why the tests are not necessary/implemented

Submitting the PR does not require you to check all items, but by the time it gets merged, they should be either satisfied or inapplicable.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a new permission mechanism to control the addition of remote resources across documents, services, and datasets. It implements a synthetic permission, add_remote_resource, which is governed by the new REGISTERED_USERS_CAN_ADD_REMOTE_RESOURCES setting. The changes include integration of permission checks in the respective views and API endpoints, along with extensive unit tests. Feedback was provided to enhance test coverage by explicitly verifying database state after successful resource creation.

To make this test more robust, it's a good practice to also verify that the document has been successfully created in the database, not just that the request resulted in a redirect.

Suggested change
self.assertTrue(Document.objects.filter(title=title).exists())

@nrjadkry I think this check should go under the POST case

my fault @nrjadkry I thought it was another section of the UI. Of course we don't want to present the form to non-admins by default.
Forget it.
