I have a question. I'm working on a project that requires not only file-by-file
authentication and authorization, but task-by-task authorization within a file (for
instance...read access, but not write). Basically, I'd like to have a database table
define permissions (which can be associated with groups and users), and what type of
permission it is: file-level, or task-level (or external/internal). Then, provide
methods that a perl program can use to ask "Am I able to do this?".
Is there something out there that does this? I'm planning on writing a module to
handle this, so if theres something that I can start with, that would help things out
a lot. Also, if anyone wants anything similar to this, let me know what features
you'd like, and I'll see if I can integrate 'em into my requirements.
I'm also thinking of doing something similar for authentication (because I'd like to
have a login screen in HTML, instead of having that HTTP popup login window.).
Anything out there that does this?
If this is a case of RTFM, could someone point me to where I can learn more about this?
Thanks a bunch,
-MN
