Sometimes you have many levels of users with different permissions each. FrogCMS could have core permissions and each installed plugin could add more types of permissions. Then we could have a roles (core) plugin that the administrator could use to create/edit user roles. Each user could be associated with one or more role. If a user belongs to role A and role B then it gets permissions from both roles. Just an idea. I understand this requires lots of core changes and some small changes in all plugins, but I really think it’s worth the effort. The Admin/Editor/User roles are over simplistic and rigid for many sites. Better sooner than later. I offer myself to help with any coding needed. I’m experienced with PHP/MVC/CMS programming. But I cannot go against the CMS philosophy so I would only go ahead if the core dev team discuss and agrees on this change. Thanks for attention and grats on FrogCMS, its a great piece of code. |

Hi Bubux, my Registered Users plugin already facilitates this process, including the addition of new user groups, their access to pages and you can always use the new groups in PHP code :) |
