Hello,
Let's suppose an app has two use cases for permissions.
1. standard:
set user_id \[ad_conn user_id\]
set instance_id \[ad_conn package_id\]
2. One instance where no data is shared between users, but admins have access to all users:
I'm guessing something like this case 2 is done in dotLRN where students only see their own work for certain package instances.
Is there an established api or technique used for a package to offer these two cases switchable via a parameter?
If so, which package would be a good example to follow?
If not, is there any reason (such as user_id package_id collisions) that code can't set the instance_id to user_id just for app data model ie data that doesn't touch openacs-core?
