Really? You know what an article reader is? Consider this... I know what it means to be able to read an article (a permission). I do *not* know what an ArticleReader is. Does it mean they can read articles? Probably. Can they ONLY read articles? Hmmm...I don't know. Can an ArticleEditor also read an article? Gee, I think so, but clearly I'm guessing now. How about an ArticlePublisher: can they read an article? Dang it. Why didn't they just use permissions!

I know what an article reader is, what's an article reader permission? Now if you need to be more granular (not all readers can search) then you create another group for searching. I think at this point the argument is mainly one of semantics. I think it's more about how we view it than anything. Anything you can do with permissions, I can do with groups. Just two different ways of doing it is all.

In Lee's model, there are no such things as independent permissions. Lest I misrepresent it, here are Lee's words: "What's a Permission? Show me one? It's a very abstract little beastie. Too abstract for me." -----Original Message----- From: Roger B.

I never even considered that his thinking might be along those lines. Instead, I figured he was thinking: <cfif isArticleReader> <cfset hasReadArticlePermission = true> <cfset hasSearchArticlePermissioon = true> </cfif> <cfif hasReadArticlePermission>Read this article</cfif> <cfif hasSearchArticlePermission>Search this article</cfif> -- Roger _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
