I think in many practical cases, you may require permissions also to be tied in. I have a case where a form editing rights are tied to a some of the fields, ie employee cannot edit certain fields, while managers can edit the fields in a form. How do we do such cases?
I could not find a reliable way, hence I fundamentally redirected users based on user types. It is kind of hacky, and ugly.
