[opencms-dev] Group Concept, Parent Group Question

[Marius Oancea]

Hi,
    As you can see in OpenCms there are 4 predefined groups:

    Users (projectuser, rolefortask)
    Admin (project manager)
    Guest
    ProjectManager (proj manager, proj user, rolefortask) is_a Users
   
    You can create your own groups as a subclass of one of that groups.

    project managers can administrate projects (a project is a set of 
todo-s) including publishing and assigning tasks.
    projUsers can solve tasks (projects) - can log into Workspace and 
edit content
    rolefortask - allows tasks to be assigned to the whole group.

    ParentGroup helps you define a hierarchy of groups (If you assign 
one user to group B is_a A, you automatically add the group to A)

    One user can be part of many groups (you can switch the currently 
active group at any time).

    Users goups can edit content but cannot publish or admin the site.
    Guest users can see the published content but cannot log in into 
workspace (to edit).

    Best Regards
       Marius Oancea
