Security users in multiple groups

Scriptcase 8 Discussion
#1

Hi,

For a SAAS application I want to be able to add a user to multiple groups. In this case a group would be a group of forms forming a piece of functionality a user can buy. So a user is always a member of a basic group, containing the basic functionality and optionally a member of one or more other groups for additinional functionality.
This cannot be arranged with the current implementation of security, even if I change the form user to a master/detail form, so that I can add a user to multiple groups (the data model does allow this). The security module doesn’t select the right privilages (not clear to me how it makes its selection).

Anyone having a good idea to approach this?

Best regards,
Martin

The generated code is a good basis. It’s not that hard to change it to allow to assign more groups to a person (multiple select box). Then you have to change the ACL code to be able to check each user group for rights.

Hi Albert,

Thanks for your reply.
I did the first and that indeed is not very hard to do. But what do you mean by “change the ACL code”? I assume not to change any Scriptcase libraries?
