Re: New Package Proposal: Enterprise A&A

Yes, I would agree similar. That response was addressed at an earlier question, not to assert any sort of uniqueness. As for how to organize users, how I did it seemed rather intuitive to me. I can see how you can do it at the permissions level. I'll have to dig around LiveUser more to understand the nuts and bolts before drawing any sort of opinion. --Tony On Tue, 14 Jan 2003, Markus Wolff wrote: > On Tue, 14 Jan 2003 13:28:08 -0600 (CST) > Tony Bibbs <tony@tonybibbs.com> wrote: > > > Authorization model is heirarchical.
