    Is there a recommended way to implement Members, Groups and Roles

    Hi All,

    We are in the process if implementing a site which needs very granual security with currently 7 different member types each with different right, but not incremental rights.

    So, because of this we cannot just add members to multiple groups, instead what we want to be able to do is to add a member to a group and for that group to have rights to certain roles, I have not been able to find anyone doing this, is there a recommended "umbraco" way of doing this?

    As an example:

    Member group "Admin" has the following roles:

    • Add News
    • Edit News
    • Delete News

    Member group "Editor" has the following roles:

    • Edit News

    Member group "Writer" has the following roles:

    • Add News

    As I mentioned above, the system we are creating is far more complex than the above example, we have nearly 100 roles that need to be mapped to a member group. ( This then gives the client the flexibility of adding more groups with different rights in the future ( when they change their mind ;-) )

    We have an idea how we are going to implement this, I am just interested to hear if others have done the same, and if so what would you recommend?

    Cheers,

    Chris
