I'm climbing up the learning curve with web2py (which really isn't very steep compared to other tools I've worked with!) and have run into something that I can't figure out from the book: the permissions system. When I create a "permission" in auth_permissions (using appadmin) I don't understand what each of the field values does (table? name?). The book seems to skip over this very quickly.
(I feel compelled to add that the book is the best official documentation I've ever seen for an open source project, with nowhere near the lag or holes in jQuery or Drupal docs. I bought the pdf version because I know the time investment that represents!). Ian
