Ben contributed to the onOffice-Web-Org/oo-wp-plugin by developing an initial scaffolding for a granular User Capabilities Permissions model using PHP. He introduced new permission constants to define role-based access for features such as block reviews, property sharing, and form management, focusing on backend and plugin development. After identifying design and implementation issues that could impact security and stability, Ben proactively reverted the changes to prevent partial rollouts. He documented the rationale and outlined next steps for a safer reimplementation, ensuring the plugin’s stability and traceability while laying the foundation for more robust access control in future iterations.
