Thanks, I see.
I haven't tested it, but why is not possible to use both?
The reason I asked is because we need a feature present in some CMS or PDM systems in which users take a role on login. For the duration of that session the user only belongs to that one role. So I was thinking that groups could be used for static groupings and roles for this type of dynamic grouping. As far as configuration, a user belongs to one or more groups and one or more roles. But the list of roles are only the list of allowed roles, only one (or maybe a set) is taken on a particular session.
I didn't think Slide supported this, but I was hoping that both groups and roles could be used concurrently. And then I could somehow hack this functionality in. The mechanism to assign this role to a session will probably be non-standard. I don't think WebDAV has a standard way to support this kind of extension, so only a custom client could use this functionality. However, it's possible to fallback to a default role for standard WebDAV clients.

Hi, Carlos!
Normally, you could use Groups OR Roles but not both: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg04553.html AFAIK, this has not been changed since the aforementioned letter.
Yours sincerely, Andrey.

Hi,
I've seen groups mentioned somewhere in the docs or in the code itself.
It seems Slide has support for groups in addition to roles.
Is that functional and what's the different between groups and roles as far as Slide is concerned.
