RE: [Rainbowportal-devel] Rainbow Users, lend me your ears.

I would think #1 should be as easy as an extra field.  Similar things have 
been done in several
rainbow areas.

I'm going to pick a bone with #2.  The problem with item level security is 
that it makes content
administration a real pain in the arse.  The backend part is pretty basic 
but it is the UI that becomes
a mess and it really makes administration a full time job.  I am not sure 
but I'd guess this is probably
the reason why role based security is so popular, because it is much easier 
to manage.  Same goes
for security at the module/tab level vs item level.

Just my opinion based upon my experience with that one.  I hate to 
discourage any idea but I am
slowly learning that what sounds good on paper is sometimes a nightmare in 
implementation.  If
you can make it work I would not complain.

Cheers

Chris Farrell
