I really do not see why controlling editing should be so complicated!

Assume that we have an admin for the database.  This person is allowed to edit
all!  Assume now a user database including ids and groups.  All changes therein
have to be confirmed by the admin.

To control editing of the tree, just add a field to each database node, which
has either an id no. or group no.  Then if person x has a right to edit node y
that node has to be in the same group as x.

Of, course this information can be visible to x, but only readonly; changes are
made by admin.

Thus no tree traversal is necessary for editing ANY node.

Those are my 25 cents,
