Conceptual question I am in the middle of a conceptual analysis for a extranet application. In short, the application offers search interfaces and documents to a group of users based on some criteria. The properties of each of these users can be roughly divided into a the following sections:
Roles (normal user, siteadmin, system admin, ...) Profile (access restrictions for searching/opening documents) Account (administrative user data like email, birthdate etc) Preferences (preferred language, doc format, ...) The functionality behind each of the sections is rather complex and i am unsure about putting this all into a single us UserManager component. My first idea goes out to writing a seperate manager for each of the sections and somehow compose a UserManager component that will call within itself these individual components. Upon following this mailinglist i notice you guys spend lots of time discussing best practices on these kind of questions, and i feel like the decision i have to take is a very important one. The User object must be session based. Do i create a object with a struct for the userdata? do i create new objects in this user object for each of the sections above? Rather take a good approach now i'm still in this stage, i kindly ask for feedback.
