[opencms-dev] User Management

[Alexander Kandzior]

Sharma,
 
think of it like math sets. Sets of user permissions.
 
Group/set A is the parent group
Group/set B is the child group (B extends A)
 
If user X is in B he has permissions for all resources that are in A or
B.
If user Y is in A only, he has no permissions for resources in B.
 
If you assign group A to a folder,user X in group B will have group
permissions for that folder without being a member of group A directly. 
If you assign group B to a folder, user Y will have no group permissions
in that folder. 
 



Best Regards,
Alex.
