The simple solution is to put each section in a separate field and query the appropriate fields according to the user group.

For example, User Group X can only search on Section A, and User Group Y can search on Section A and Section B. We have considered various scenarios such as partitioning the document into separate fields or even having separate repositories, but we then get hung up on search syntax. In searching the archives and reading the LIA book I see examples of document-level security, but this almost seems to be a different security problem. I'm not necessarily looking for the perfect solution, but rather different approaches that we can look at. -Steve Thompson --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
