Re: Auth and permissions

And further to that, I have to ask: How viable is it to use an alpha release in a production environment? Is the API going to change as it comes to a final release? What are the timelines for bringing it to release? I love the concept, i'm just a little scared off of developing an application on top of an alpha package. tim On Thursday, May 15, 2003, at 12:32 AM, LIMBOURG Arnaud wrote:

First, this was already discussed before, PEAR::Auth is authentication package. Adding permissions to it does not make much sense. Second, liveuser might be more what you are looking for. It is not *that* complicated. Doc is being written but is still in early stages. Arnaud.

Yeah, I do the same think, if yo want to do patch, lets do it.. -az Marco Schuler(marco.schuler@scopein.ch)@Tue, May 13, 2003 at 09:24:52PM +0200:

Hi all I am quite new in using PEAR packages and OO-programming. I

am delighted

how "easy" development is by using PEAR classes. Right now I am implementing a website where I need some kind of authentication. Not hard to do with help of the

auth-package. My problem

that came up during the last hours is that I need

permissions to access

cetain pages. Lets say I want to have five different levels of permissions like "user", "author", "editor", "supervisor"

and "admin". A

nice to have feature would be inclusive permissions. As I figured out, PEAR Auth does not provide this

functionality. I also

read about LiveUser. Seems to satisfy my wishes and a lot

more, but I

think it is to complicated for just implementing my

"simple" permission

scheme, and the documentation is not such an advanced state

for a newbie

to get started. I'd like to ask if somebody ever has extended PEAR Auth to

satisfy my

requirements. I would be glad to just get some tips of you

out there how

you would face my "problem". If somebody would be so kind

to provide me

an extended class, that would allow me to go out tonight to

have a beer

maybe ;-) Thanks anyway -- Cheers Marco
