[TYPO3-dev] Backend User Groups Limit

[Jason Alexander]

Hi Jigal,

We are a technology school and do require many groups and over 4 years students who are involved in school activities tend to be apart of more groups. Believe me as our school grows into other sectors (like teaching workshops) you are completely right. I almost becomes unmanageable. But we are successfully doing it for the time being.

Thank you all for your input. It has help greatly. You guys rock!!

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...
