[TYPO3-dev] Backend User Groups Limit

[Ulrich Lorenz PHZ Luzern]

Hi Jigal

I asked myself the same question and the answer was that 35 are not enough. We have a combined structure with both groups for access rights (one per domain in a multidomain installation) and action rights (news editor, calendar editor) and an inheriting structure ("normal editor" --> editor-in-chief --> webmaster) and if you have many domains in your installation needing more than 35 subgroups for one or two subgroups is necessary. In the end the user is only part of one or two groups...
