Oh, and one other thing ...

Is it reasonable for me to expect that auth is the mechanism by which
I would build a web2.0 social networking capability in web2py, or
should I roll my own from scratch like I've done in the past, before
using web2py?

In particular, I want to make a community where groups can be private
or public and have a rich set of permissions. Such as:
- User can/cannot join group without an invitation
- Only members can see group in public listing
- User can leave group
- User can/cannot create new records associated with group
- User can/cannot read records associated with group
- User can/cannot update records associated with group
- User can/cannot delete records associated with group
... etc.

Obviously, the latter requirements are pure CRUD. However, I'm not
sure about the stuff about joining, leaving, making visible/invisible,
etc. I'm operating under the assumption that Auth will do a lot if not
all this for me via permissions, etc. But are there any gotcha's in
there waiting to pounce on me?

Better yet, any good examples of a fully working system that does all
this?
