User - group - role philosophy -> our proposal
Hi all,
I would like to ask about the philosophy of the group / role Jetspeed
management. Jetspeed if I am right prevent a single user having different
roles for different groups she belongs to. In this way we cannot divide the
information into information channels by assigning different roles to people
in the same group / information channel.
In our project (www.eunetyard.net) we have modified this mechanism and we
were wondering if this would be a good idea to integrate it to Jetspeed
releases. In this case we can provide you the source code.

Mark,
Just my 2 cents (and I am not one of the developers, for better or worse) but
as a technologist who has implemented portal based intranets for financial
companies with custom developed "Communities of Practice" hand-rolled into the
commercial product, I would *love* to see this happen and believe it would be a
huge boom to Jetspeed.
and to all of you... thanks for Jetspeed!
Kind Regards,

You are correct in your assessment of Jetspeed security. Although the
database is designed to support user-group-role relationships as you
describe, the implementation assumes that all roles are always enrolled in
single group (Jetspeed). I think this is a limitation which prevents such
things as delegating admin privileges to selected resources for a non-admin
user.

I personally think it is a good idea to integrate your changes as long as
the change is transparent (and I think that is possible to do). I can work
with you on the integration. Just want to make sure that there are no
objections from other developers.
Thanks for your proposal.
