Hey all,
For Scarab, I'm going to have to extend Turbine's ACL system to be a bit
more "complete" to say the least (that isn't a dig against it given that I
helped design most of it, I just need additional functionality now). One
thing that I'm going to have to add to Scarab is the concept of "Groups".
The way it looks is something like this:
"User x has Role a in Group f."
"User x has Role b in Group f."
"User x has Role b in Group g."
Thus, this will give me the ability to overload the concept of "Group" to
include "Projects". Thus, I can assign permissions (through Roles) to
"Groups" or "Projects" that the User belongs in.
The table structure looks something like this:
CREATE TABLE Group (
GROUPID int(11) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL,
NAME varchar(99) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
DESCRIPTION varchar(1024) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (GROUPID)
);
I would then alter the VisitorRole table to include GROUPID....
create table VisitorRole �(
� �VISITORID � integer NOT NULL,
� �ROLEID � � �integer NOT NULL,
� GROUPID � �integer NOT NULL,
� �PRIMARY KEY (VISITORID, ROLEID, GROUPID),
� �INDEX visitorID_roleID_index ( VISITORID, ROLEID, GROUPID )
);
Then, I would alter all the Java code to take advantage of things.
Instead of making this a general Scarab thing, I would like to make this
more general for others to use as well by including it in Turbine. So, what
do you think? Can I modify the stuff in Turbine to add this feature?
