Re: Implied permissions

Hey guys... implementing a permission system and just wanted some advice. If i have permission A which has implied permissions B and C How do the permissions relate to each other, for eg if I select permission A to true, that implies that permission B and C must be set to true, but then if I set B to false or C to false, or both does that affect permission A? Assuming that B, and C dont have implied rights you should be able to turn both of them off while leaving A on, but then that breaks the rule for A having implied permissions B and C. Any help appreciated. I dont know the Grammar for specifying logic anymore, but

IF A implies B + C, then reverse logic should imply that if !( B && C) == !A. In other words, it shouldnt matter which of B or C is false. Or you could specify if ((!B) || (!C)) then A==FALSE. But more importantly, YOU are specifying the permission system, so you must define the priority, implications, etc.. I would personally prefer a rule which had A = ( B && C ). In other words, A does not imply B and C are true, but is defined by there being true, or is dependent. The possible confusion wil come when you specify permissions as 'implications' rather than as combinations of 'conditions'. My 2 cents.
