Scott, I too am struggling with a similar problem. I've poured over freshmeat.net and google.com looking for application frameworks for PHP that have this functionality in them. The only thing I've found of note is Alex Black and his crew over at www.binarycloud.com. This looks to be a great framework but it looks to be so complex that I'll spend most of my time worrying about how to setup and configure the framework properly instead of working on coding my actual application. (Sorry Alex, I know you read this and I _REALLY_ respect the work you guys are doing...but it's going to take a masters degree in CS to get an app up and running.)
In the end I just decided to roll my own. I write my apps so that each page is an object subclassed from the root of HTMLPage. One property of the class is user group. (ADMIN, MEMBER, etc) The parent class' init checks this property against the current user stored in the session object. If the current user in the session is not a member of the proper group then they are redirected to the default redirect. (another property of the page) It's not real elegant but it does work. If you find something out there that works and can be easily implemented, please share. =C= * * Cal Evans * Journeyman Programmer * Techno-Mage * http://www.calevans.com * -----Original Message----- From: Scott St. John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 12:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] intranet security I am currently building an intranet security system to handle internal users and the web applications we have. When we are done we will have the ability to add/remove users, control what apps they can and can't see, etc. One thing I would like to be able to do is set up groups and have the ability to assign multiple groups to a person. Say you have these groups: Admin, Developer, Read-Only and I want to assign Scott to Admin and Developer. Then also be able to control rights on a user level. Can someone point me to some links or let me know how you handled these situations. I have a rough draft here, but would like to see what others are doing to handle these issues.
