Hi all. John, Sean and others – nice work on Radiant so far!

What is the vision regarding finer-grained ACL on Radiant’s  
administrative  
interface? Any plans for it, or has anyone else implemented access  
control  
in Radiant? I am envisioning – for example – the ability to make some  
users content editors for a node on the tree, vs. other users who can  
administer templates, add and remove pages, etc.

Cheers,  
Andre

Any takers on this question? Insight on any plans for access control is  
welcome, as is input from anyone who’s hacked ACL onto Radiant’s admin  
interface.

Thanks,

Andre

+1, I’d also love to hear about how to implement a content editor role

We want to add a couple of additional roles to help with work flow  
(editor, publisher, etc…). I’d also like to make it possible for  
someone to swap out the existing system with an extension that  
implements fine grain permissions.
