[TYPO3-core] RFC: Feature #13164: CLI processes cannot be executed when adminOnly mode is enabled

[Oliver Hader]

This is an SVN patch request.

Type: Feature

Bugtracker references:
http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=13164

Branches: Trunk

Problem:
CLI processes that require a backend user are not executed when these
backend users don't have the admin flag set and
$TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['adminOnly'] is enabled.

Adding the admin flag to these CLI backend users is dangerous since
somebody could abuse these users.

Solution:
Add a new state for the adminOnly configuration that allows CLI
processes to bypass the adminOnly check. Thus, there are the following
settings for adminOnly:
-1: Lock backend and install tool
0: Default - No lock at all
1: Only admin users can log into the backend
2: Only admin users can log into the backend, but CLI processes using
regular backend users are allowed
