Re:Why did you choose Joomla? - 2007/06/07 20:13
Yeah, I understand why that makes sense, but it won't work for us at the library I work. Every department has someone who has read/write permissions so they may add their own content (policies, etc) for that department. It would be WAY too much for one person to do really. Plus, everyone does their schedules, etc slightly different based on their departments needs, etc. Again, the only downside to having multiple managers, editors, etc. is the fact that those individuals could add content (potentially) to the other sections(departments). Of course, they won't, but it would be nice if they couldn't access a particular section at all. Which is why Joomla 1.5 Beta will be great when it is stable.
In Joomla 1.5 Beta:
"User and Access Control sytem Improvements. This allows for the ability to add and edit the user groups system. It also allows for administrators to alter the access permissions based on function though the user interface. For example, you will be able to define which group(s) can install components or template, and so on. Also, we will allow for controlling permissions at the object level in a more detailed way. For example, you will be able to select sections and categories that are viewable only to certain groups."
From http://dev.joomla.org/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=23 this pdf. *Not sure I inserted the link correctly.*
