[MRBS-general] Permissions Layer - Progress Update 1

[Paul v. d. W. <b0...@we...>]

Hi all!

I thought some of you might be interested in my progress so far on the 
permissions layer, so here we go.

I've chosen phpGACL since I believe it will fill the requirements. If 
you're confused by any of the terms used please have a look at the docs 
for phpGACL.

Anyway, here is the default group structure for users that I've come up 
with:

MRBS Users                            (placeholder group)
|-Administrators                     (placeholder group)
|  |-ACL Administrators          Permission to manage the Access Control 
Lists
|  |-Area Administrators         Permission to view/create/edit/delete areas
|  |-Room Administrators        Permission to view/create/edit/delete rooms
|  |-Booking Administrators    Permission to view/create/edit/delete entries
|  |-User Administrators          Permission to view/create/edit/delete 
users
|-Users                                      (placeholder group)
   |-General Users                     All non-administrators

You will have the flexibility to change any of this as needed for you 
specific needs, but if you have any thoughts for changes that would be 
good to have in the default install please let me know.


Also, any users who are not logged in will have the permissions of the 
"Default" user. At the moment I have this user set up to have view 
access to areas/rooms/entries as I think this matches the initial needs 
of most who install MRBS.

I will also set permissions to allow for the possibility of entry 
text/details (and room stuff, etc.) to be hidden from most users.

More to come....


So, any thoughts?


Kind Regards,

Paul
