[TYPO3-50-general] permission system plans

[werner mueller]

hallo everyone

impressive to see you plans for typo3 5. - in fact, almost scary ;)

on the roadmap page i found a line for milestone 2 which mentions a 
users package. i wonder whet plans exist for that part?

e.g. will the two scopes (frontend/backend) be merged into one? will the 
  permissions stay that much user/group centric? are there plans to 
introduce roles? will it be possible to extend permissions to files (or 
any asset if DAM stays)? when i look forward to the webdav interface - i 
take milestone 2 as a promise ;) - this may become essential.

in typo3 4.x i constantly stumble over users having an account in the 
wrong scope, or on uploaded files being accessible to anyone or 
extensions that reach to export data not meant to be exported at all. 
currently i see simply too many options doing things wrong.

well. i am curious about your thoughts :-)


kind regards
