Hi All,

Recently started using web2py and python. I am developing a web application.
The authorization scenario is like this:

There is a super user who can access anything. (Essentially he can
create/update/delete categories apart from everything else)
There is a category manager who can update the categories. (each category
has specific settings)
There there is a user who can view the data in a category.

Now any user can be user for a category(say 1), manager for a different
category(say 2). That means the user can see data for both 1 and 2 but can
only modify settings pertaining to 2. He may not be aware of other
categories 3,4. I plan to expose a menu/page where the user can see the
categories and clicking on the  item takes the user to the details (again
with a settings link visible based on role)

How do I go about using the existing auth. in web2py to achieve my goal?
