Hi,  
I need to create a web site with subsections and I need to let some  
users edit each subsection and block others from doing this, much like  
[http://groups.drupal.org/](http://groups.drupal.org/) is it possible to do this with radiant? if  
not can I achieve this with an extension?

thanks,  
pietro.

There is no ACL support in Radiant yet. Your best bet is probably  
something in the line of  
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How\_To\_Set\_a\_Top\_Level\_Page\_for\_User](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How_To_Set_a_Top_Level_Page_for_User)

Is this on the plans? I love the fact that it is so simple and the  
fact that you need extensions for additional capabilities like  
page\_attachments and sending email seems to me like the right way to  
go, but ACLs, IMHO that should be part of radiant.

thanks for the tip. i’m considering doign something like this:  
[http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How\_To\_Host\_Multiple\_Websites\_by\_using\_mod\_proxy](http://wiki.radiantcms.org/How_To_Host_Multiple_Websites_by_using_mod_proxy)

plus having one db for the ‘main’ site and share the users table with  
all the ‘subsites’, so i have centralized auth. and i’ll try to create  
a extension that prevents a user from editing a site.

pietro.
