Hi!

I'd like to start tracking user ownership on objects, aka who made what. This is a little more complex for us since we don't have an internal concept of a "user" since we delegate authority to other systems. What I am thinking at the moment though is that we set up a domain:user combination similar to what we see with HTTP. The other option, and hold onto your socks, would be to use openID identifiers.

I believe we could easily map OpenID to the more traditional systems like LDAP/etc.

Thoughts?



Why ?

Does this fit into the "lightweight database for the cloud" or whatever the general plan is.

It does not seem to fit into that description from what I can tell.

I am not opposed in general to the concept, but I think that there should be some sort of "test" to see if something really fits in or if it just suits a programmers desires.

So ... how does this fit in, Why does drizzle need or want this ?

It sounds like it might introduce more issues than it solves.

Suppose I clone a database or restore from a backup, who "owns" those objects now ?

Suppose I have a triggered event or some programatic creation or cloning of objects.. who owns them ?
