J2 now supports a variety of role/group profiling features and is having role based access security grafted in today. See the profiler design docs for more information on the profiler capabilities.
J2 is to be released before the end of the year and is available now via CVS. Randy -----Original Message----- From: Le Tuan H To: 'Jetspeed User' Sent: 11/5/04 10:52 AM Subject: Strategy for role based security Hi, We are developing an intranet portal and we want to have a role based security with the following roles: admin user reporting_analyst manager All the registered users have at least the user role. All the people when they register, they automatically get the user role. The admin user can assign the user with additional roles, such as reporting_analyst, manager. The users that login with different role may see different tab panes and portlets. How do I setup a security to support such requirements? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
