Summary

When running Matomo in a cluster/multi-server environment, by design I cannot activate or deactivate plugins.
When I visit the plugins page in the UI (as a Super-Admin), I can still see options to activate or deactivate plugins.

Could we have a change so that, in this situation:

  1. Plugin activation/deactivation controls are removed or disabled
  2. A message is added at the top of the page stating "This server is deployed in a multi-server environment. Plugins cannot be managed here" (or something similar).

This would lead to less confusion and, in theory, could be easy to implement (happy to do a PR) given this setting is known and part of the config file.

Your Environment

  • Matomo Version: 4.4.1
  • PHP Version: 7
  • Server Operating System: Ubuntu
  • Additionally installed plugins: FormAnalytics, CustomReports

There is already a config setting to disable plugins install/enable/disable here:

matomo/config/global.ini.php

Line 747 in b35a0c8

enable_plugins_admin = 1

As well as an additional config setting which disables some other admin settings:

matomo/config/global.ini.php

Line 775 in b35a0c8

enable_general_settings_admin = 1

What we could maybe do is add a warning to the diagnostic/system check if these settings are still enabled with multi server set to 1 in the config?
