[Flow] Policies in different Packages

[Aske Ertmann]

Hey Felix

You can extend other roles and you should also be able to set acts for roles from other packages..

roles:
  Editor: [ Acme:Package2 ]

acls:
  Acme.Package:
    methods:
      ..

As I read it the best solution sounds like just one role defined in the main package/distribution and then acls in the sub packages..

I haven't used it myself yet though.

I would like to realize a policy structure where I have Roles with same names in different packages. These roles shall be identical in my visual representation in the frontend. The administrators must select the roles for each user and only need to see one "GlobalAdmin" and one "Member" role, not each role from each of my packages.
