Hi,

I’m new to RoR and Radiant.  
Is it possible to define user roles in Radiant ?  
I’d like to be able to define several roles and say “this page is  
only viewable to roles A,C,D”, etc.

Kris.

Kris,

Unfortunately, the roles are not that granular yet. There are only 3 -  
user, developer, administrator. This only affects which UI tabs can be  
seen.
