Default Re: Fine Grained Role Based Access Control (RBAC) system

Hi Ben,

Just curious if you ever happened across LiveUser (http://www.gvngroup.be/doc/LiveUser/permission_complex.php)?

phpGACL seems to have been around the longest and allegedly has had numerous users. I'm a little surprised that none of these ACLs (phpGACL, LiveUser, this one) aren't more "organized" for lack of a better word. This is not in reference to the quality or merits of the class itself, but moreso the documentation. So like you mentioned in one of your earlier posts, I guess I'm a bit too slow as well and am not sure how to use the class, that's where your concept shines to me, it is easier to grasp looking at the ERD.

Do you have an idea how to implement user management in your system? That is, how to handle controlling administration rights of users? I have a situation where I might want to ability to have "admins" or "department managers" create users or assign rights to other users. The scenario comes to mind where you want to limit what rights could be assigned, for instance you would'nt want a "department manager" to be able to create a "super administrator" etc.
