You do have to decorate the functions, but I regard that as just a part of creating the function.
> *in web2py its impossible!* Not really. You just have to supply the code. It's not trivial, but it's not rocket science, either. Heck, there might even by a pyslice or plugin that does the job. And I would suggest it's a good idea to do so. If you write your own interface to the auth tables you can allow others besides yourself to administer users without giving them the keys to the admin app. On Sep 20, 6:03 pm, António Ramos <ramstei...@gmail.com> wrote: > * The Web2py security methods put Notes ACL to shame?* > Can you explain why you think this way? > > how do i solve this problem in web2py? > > In a small organization (+- 100 users) it can be dificult to manage ACLs > without being able to add group to group membership. > > consider my company > > we have this groups in the maintenance department > > MMC (20 users) > ME ( 15 users) > MI ( 10 users) > > MD (maintenance department) > (all users above) > > so this group is composed of MMC,ME, MI and we dont repeat adding all users > to MD, we just add group MMC,ME,MI > > When we delete a person from ME, MD group automaticaly reflects the change. > > In Lotus notes is very easy. > *in web2py its impossible!* > > Also in web2py you have to decorate every function to allow certain users or > groups.
