Hi, I don't think you can achieve that by Catalyst::Plugin::Authorization but please correct me if I am wrong.
On a side note though, I also had an idea that is similar to yours some time ago, but I scrapped it because the number of records in users_pages_roles tables will increase exponentially as the number of users and pages increase. I wonder how the sharing function is implemented in Google Docs though. Sindharta jakac <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hello! I am new to Catalyst and I am developing my first web application using this really great framework. I really like the way Catalyst allows me to build my application but now I have a problem which I can not resolve by myself. I studied the tutorial and I understand the whole concept of "role based" authorization where we have three tables: - users (list of users with primary key user_id) - roles (list of roles with primary key role_id) - users_roles (with user_id - role_id relations) but for my application I need a bit more advanced system than that because every user has also multiple pages and different roles for each page (he can edit some, only view the others etc.). One user has different permissions for each of the pages and also more users have access (and different permissions) to the same page. So I need 4 tables: - users (list of users with primary key user_id) - roles (list of roles with primary key role_id) - pages (list of pages with primary key page_id) - users_pages_roles (with user_id - page_id - role_id relations) e.g.: user1 | page1 | edit user1 | page2 | edit user2 | page2 | view user3 | page1 | edit user3 | page2 | view etc. How can I make this kind of authorization using Catalyst? How to build a model and configure "roles" plugin? Also with simple role based system I can check if user has permission to use that part of application using: $c->assert_user_roles( qw/rolename/ ); What about with this kind of "advanced" authorization? Thank you all!
