I very much appreciate your predicament. I have a very similar
situation. Since the Turbine security system in Turbine 2 is limited
you will have to come up with some sort of hack. I have two suggestions:
Hack 1) Have each group be a survey. You noted the problem with this is
that you can't get a list of groups that a person is a member of. Well
to hack your way through that you can write some custom SQL code to
retrieve a list of groups that a "Responder" is a member of.
Hack 2) Create a new table USER_SURVEY which relates the TURBINE_USER
table to the surveys. So it would have the columns USER_ID, and
SURVEY_ID. You can consult the Extend User Howto on the website on how
to do this. You will need to create a TurbineUserAdapter and a
TurbineUserPeerAdapter to implement the retrieveByPK methods for torque.
Hope this helps!
