[CONCEPT] Managing Permissions


Question

Hi Folks,

I am in the process of developing a new version of my site http://www.ne14hockey.co.uk/ part of which users can manage their clubs, organisations, teams, fixtures etc.

Is it sensible to go down the facebook root where the main settings are stored on the club, and applied to a set of pre-defined groups like, members, officers and admins which users of the site are then set into one of these groups.

I just wondered how other developers approach this aspect of their community projects.

In the projects I have undertaken in the past, Roles and Permissions are governed by Groups. I have a set of individual permissions, which can be applied to a group, or to an individual.

Permissions applied to a group I call Implicit permissions, and the user has these if they are a member of a Group. Permissions given directly to the user, I call Explicit permissions, and these override any Implicit permissions inherited from a Group.

Naturally, Groups can have Sub-Groups, and so will inherit any permissions of their parent groups.
