I had a fairly complicated mess in a 0.7.5 app for user roles/ permissions. I ended up adding users belong to a group and groups have and belong to many permissions. Then had to cache the permissions per user to avoid dragging the app performance down the sewer. Certainly wasn't pretty but kept me from having to dive into the user model every time I needed a new role.
So, anyway, it's doable as is... but yes, a plugin to do that would be nice :) On Oct 24, 2:51 am, Gert Thiel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That doesn't work for me.
