Janne,

Will it be possible to manage security / permissions purely by directory in 
this new capability? Here's the use-case:

I shall soon be supporting the development of an on-line training system, 
structured into modules. Students will have visibility of modules unlocked 
progressively as they progress (and it is also possible that different staff 
may be empowered to edit different modules).

I had been planning to have to impose a page-naming schema on the authors which 
would include the module-name in the page-name, so that we could implement the 
unlocking. Ugly, but sufficient to meet the need.

But a *far* better solution would be to have a structure such as 
.../module1/pages...
.../module2/pages...
  
and be able to manage the permissions simply at the 

.../module1
.../module2

level, with the same permissions applying to all contents of any one module.

If that could be included in your requirement that would be *great*!

TIA,

Chris Haynes
