Hi, My question is regarding user level authorization.What we would like to be 
able to do is: 
1) create a user base with their allowed polygon and filters. When the same 
user logs in for and fires the WMS or WFS query he only gets the data filtered 
by the assigned filter.
2) We would also like to be able to trigger some user related activity; i.e 
when a user asks for a big data related query we would like to be able to 
prepare the data in database and provide the prepared data in the layer(in WMS 
or WFS)
Is a module like that currently exists? Or is it being planned in the future?
We are using geoserver and have currently modified the code base to achieve 
what I have asked in the question. But with each changing version it gets 
trickier to migrate our changes to the newer version.The way we have currently 
implemented the above two requirements is:1 implementation ) When a user asks 
for a WMS/WFS layer; we get the corresponding filter and add that to the 
layer's existing filter.2 implementation) When a user asks for a WMS/WFS layer 
for which the data is not present; we prepare the data and send the key's via 
viewparams.
Is it the best way to approach this problem? 
Thanks....Manas
