Plugin for the Matomo Web Analytics software package that facilitates an easy process to grant users access to site reports. A companion access provider is required, usually in the form of a website CMS plugin/module (you may need to build this if one does not exist).
The easiest way to install is to find the plugin in the Matomo Marketplace.
A shared secret must be etablished before the plugin will function. You can set that in Admin -> System -> General Settings
You will then need to implement an access provider (see example code below) which will generate an access request link users can use.
NOTICE: Users need to have read access to at least 1 website. When you create user accounts give the users access to a "lobby" website. if using LoginLdap utilize the Initial sites With View Access for New Users feature to provide access to the lobby website.
Implementation code for access provider. Should be trivial to port to other languages.
$sharedSecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxx"; //Shared secret. This needs to match the secret set in the Plugin settings. Should only be accessible by admin.
$idUser = "myusername"; //Matomo username
$site = "www.example.com/practicesubsite"; //URL of the site to request access for. Also accepts idSite.
$timestamp = time();
$token = hash('sha256', implode('',[$sharedSecret, $idUser, $site, $timestamp]));
$linkHref = sprintf("http://matomoinstall.example.com/matomo/index.php?%s", http_build_query(["module"=>"SiteAccessProvisioner", "action"=>"accessRequest", "idUser"=>$idUser, "site"=>$site, "timestamp"=>$timestamp, "token"=>$token]));GPL v3 / fair use
Please report any issues. Pull requests welcome.
