This is along the lines of my last thread re: Site tree root node. What
are people doing to separate content objects among organizational
groups, depts, etc?

For instance, say you have a custom type that you want to deploy to all
of your users, but you only want each group of users to see their OWN
content listed both on their pages within the site AND the admin
interface. Sure, you could use the category tree, but then you have to
trust that the user creating the content chooses the right category
(their own). What I've done is store an array of the user's policy group
ID's with each content object, and then I only list ones that match on
the admin side. Also, my rules have a policy group IDs property, which
allows the user defining the rule to specify which content to output
(which means later, if needed, I can easily combine multiple group
content, etc)

Is there a better way to do this? It seems to work pretty good... any
pitfalls associated with this approach? What do you guys do in this type
of situation?

thanks,

Dave
