I’d be interested to hear what the Postorius/Hyperkitty folks think on the concept of more tangibly defining Mailman resource/user permissions.
Presumably Postorius and Hyperkitty somehow grant access to resources and store the permissions information externally? Anyone got any thoughts? as On 17 Feb 2015, at 1:37 am, Barry Warsaw <ba...@list.org> wrote: This looks like a reasonable analysis.

As you've noticed, we have IMember objects which encapsulate the list-centric roles for users. It's important to note though that this isn't quite complete because it's possible for validated, non-user linked addresses to also be subscribed to mailing lists, and then we have no trail back to a UUID. I think in normal operations though, this should be rare to nonexistent. We have a natural place to hang user information on for domains, since we have an IDomain interface (and a domain model/table). In this case, I would stipulate that only users can be associated with domains. We'd probably need to add a table to represent this relationship. I don't know where to hang the siteowner information. Maybe adding a column to the user table? It probably just needs to be a flag. The alternative is to use some special list_id values in the member table to denote a domain and the site, and then restrict the role to owner in both cases. I'm not sure I like this though. It seems implicit rather than explicit. Are there any other permissions you can think of?
