[FeatureEditor] Allow to provide editable layers list

[jusabatier]

Description

Actually, when FeatureEditor is activated, it's for all context's layers.
It would be great to have an option like "editingAllowedLayers" listing layers that we want to enable edition for.
For example in a context some layers can just be there for information, not edition.
This feature allow them to not look like they can be edited.

Acceptance criteria

• Allow to parameter layers in a context for which we want to enable feature edition tools. (not all)

That would be a great feature for us as well.
It would be an enabler for a lot of derived features from UI/UX perspective too!

@tdipisa answers :

The context editor (who has write permission on the context) can control that option from layers settings of layers added in the context (step #2 of the wizard). The map editor (who has write permission on a map) can do the same at map level. If enabled, the Attribute Table (if present) will not appear in the toolbar when the layer is selected in TOC.

I didn't found such option that allow to set if a layer is available or not in edition.

This need to be implemented indeed.

As agreed in the call today and also already specified above we will provide this in a way that only admins or who has edit permission of the map/context can control it in layer settings.

@tdipisa i suppose you meant "the edit button in the attribute table will not appear" right ? we still want users not allowed to edit the data in a given layer to be able to see its attribute table..

[tdipisa]

yes @landryb let me reformulate in the right way. I'm sorry.

The context editor (who has write permission on the context) can control that option from layers settings of layers added in the context (step 2 of the wizard). The map editor (who has write permission on a map) can do the same at map level. If enabled and the Attribute Table is present, the edit button will not appear in the toolbar.

Possible approaches

Kindly let me know which design to proceed with. Your thoughts @tdipisa

Option 1
To have layer option under Display to enable/disable the layer for edit in Attribute table

Option 2
To have a toolbar option under Fields

[tdipisa]

@dsuren1 I would opt for Option 1 but it should stay in General and not in Display tab. I'm not convinced about Option 2 since this should be a general option to disable the layer editing while the Fields panel id dedicated to configure the aliases.
As far as the name of the option is concerned, it could be: Disable editing with Attribute Table or something like that.
