Are any of you developers building extensions that require role-based ACL? That would be an extension that envisages multiple administrators with different access points and rights.
I would have thought that this is a requirement for a serious organisation's needs, but I seem to be in a minority.
I found this article https://magazine.joomla.org/all-issues/ ... -based-acl talking about it, but look at the date!
While it might be a fairly simple idea, it also requires creating user groups, view levels, dashboards, menus, and modules on installation, as well as setting up access rights for those groups. Some of this seems very not-simple given the built in facilities in J! Looks like I often need to resort to directly accessing the relevant tables.
Anyone here doing this and have some thoughts to share on it?
