[opencms-dev] Permission problem with ADE content structure

[Tobias Karrer]

Thanks Kai and Alex for your response.

Well, so I'd like to reformulate it to: "not that usable for big company 
sites" :-)

We thought about subsitemaps and use them for "microsites" in the website.

But when there are lot of different editor groups it gets a little bit 
unhandily.

For example with groups/edit rights on folders like:

Editors Careers                    /en/career/
Editors Careers Event         /en/career/event/
Editors Careers Training     /en/career/trainging/

Editors Press                     /en/press/
Editors Press Events        /en/press/events/

...

(with the same for /de, /jp /cn, etc.)

Especially, when there will be added new edit groups for a distinct part 
of the resource tree - as it is the case for us now.
We would need to select the correspondent containers out of about 2500 
to move them to a new language specific /.content folders.

The disadvantage not to be able to share content remains.

So, I think we need to do something particular here.
What would be the right place to hook in and check additional 
permissions before displaying the ADE edit button?

Best Regards,
Tobias
