[TYPO3-english] Management of high number of groups with a few "roles"

[Xavier Perseguers]

Hi,

Does someone already experienced having to manage high number of groups 
(let's say you have 50+ non-overlapping sections in your website) that 
should be assignable to 50+ groups and for each of these sections, you 
have let's say 3 "roles" (read-only, editor, publisher).

The problem I see with security management is that it is not possible 
(AFAIU) to combine group A (db and file mount points) with "role" X (ACL 
on records and plugins) to create a special "bundle" that is assignable 
to a user. As it seems not to be possible to give user Y read-only 
access on T1, but editor access on subtree T2 without having to create 
additional "logical" groups that contain both a group and a role, which 
leads to 150+ logical groups in the backend.
