Hello all,

What are the decision points used to determine if one should be using a subsite instead of just permissions?

For example, an athletic might have the following kinds of users:

 * members
 * receptionists, who can perform a restricted set of activities on
   behalf of the members
 * club professionals, who
     o are member like in that they do the same things that members do
     o administer members (including doing some actions on behalf of
       members)
     o set up and administer athletic program (e.g. leagues)
 * club assistants, who have a subset of club pro functionality
 * club administrators, who manage receptionists, club professionals
   and assistants
 * system administrators, who manage club configuration and club
   administrators

It doesn't make sense to set up a separate subsite for each kind of user because there is a lot of common functionality for some kinds of users. Should I separate subsite for major functional areas? Should I even use subsites?

Has anyone developed a hobo application with more than one subsite? If so, are there any suggestions or lessons learned that you can pass on to me?

Regards,
Henry
