Re: [Phpgacl-general] protecting 'non-owned' pages/apps with phpgacl?

[Mike B. <ip...@sn...>]

Wrapping 3rd party apps really depends on what your needs are. Its not
an easy thing to do, as permission systems work best when built in to an
app from the ground up.

If you really want to do it, I suggest just using a global include file,
unless you want more fine grained permissions, which you will need to
modify almost every page in the 3rd party app.=20

There is no "magic pill" for fine grained permissions. It takes work.
