Then he should be * able to allow other users or groups of users to * access these but with each of these separately. * So at least this can't be accomplished only with * roles or else a role has to be created for every * resource. * OK, lets think about some roles: * - owner (for each resorce ... this will enable us * to share ownership.) * - viewer (for each resource ... these might only * see the resource.) * - projectmember (for each project resource) * - teamlead (might have special rights for some projects * and be able to see what each projectmember * can see) * - projectowner (well ... this might be owner of * a project resource) * - projectadmin (being able to change parts of the project * but can't see everything...) * * I think I do not need an index here...because these are only * used to setup a permission set within the user session...so * these are simply added to this set..... * With the users it is a different story...in fact i don't think * that this relation should be stored here...this is an extra * relation which is indexed by the usr name and credential and * holds an array of roles he is in...on the other hand...if * a role changes we need a fast way to get all users to update * their permissions if they are online... * * New thoughts, a resource might be either a URL or a userid. * When it is a userid the configured rights are valid for all * resources owned by that user. * Each grouped resource has less precedence than a specific * one. That means, access rights can be removed for single * resources after they have been added via a grouped resource. * By default each user is assigned a role that allows him to * do everything with every resource she/he has created. * This role is also named after the user id. */ Permission * permissions; size_t npermissions; User * users; Hash users_idx; }; #endif // __ROLE_H__ // vim: set ts=4 sw=4:
