Forum OpenACS Development: Re: creating default group sets for package instances

Posted by Torben Brosten on
Are group_types useful for granting a user (or group of users) specific privileges to all instances of a package-key?

Here's a use case I need to consider:

There are N subsites, each subsite represents a company department, project/program or warehouse etc. The function of handling accounts payables (vendor invoices etc) are handled by the same people regardless, so they need access to a certain part of each subsite, but not the other parts.

Maybe the way to handle this is to give them their own subsite and access via some kind of grouping in parameters..

Are you working with already written software? If not, you have lots of options to avoid sending your accounting people to a bunch of different subsites to do their work. Otherwise you might have to go page by page through the app and figure out what to do, then replicate this on each subsite. But don't add any privileges, they don't help much.
