[opencms-dev] CmsRoles

[Sebastian Himberger]

Hi,

I agree with you. I also had the requirement to build an interface to 
only edit the users of one particular group. What is imho not possible 
using the current concept because it has only a Role for the complete 
user administration.

Is there anything in the pipeline regarding the roles? Maybe in a 6.3 or 
6.4 version?

Best regards
Sebastian
