Hi, i face now a little issue regarding how end user can access to some modules of my web portal. Let imagine we have several modules (let say: mod1, mod 2, mod3) and 2 users (usr1, usr2). i would like to use a simple way how to established access rights for each user to grant/forbidden access to modules. i was thinking that a simple code like on linux could fit this need where i could have execute/change/read access and this for each module. for example, usr1 could have stored into DB the access rights 710 (knowing that rights are based on mod3 | mod2 | mod1) so usr1 : - could execute some particular actions, change data and read data from module 3 - could just read data for module 2 - does not have access to module 1 something similar for usr2 could be setup. on each php pages/module, the user rights are checked and based on result, the correct decision is taken by the web portal system. i would like to know if such technique is a correct one, or if there is something much more better ? thanks a lot, -- Alain ------------------------------------ Windows XP SP2 PostgreSQL 8.2.4 / MS SQL server 2005 Apache 2.2.4 PHP 5.2.4 C# 2005-2008
