Great - can you tell us about your roadmap in a few words?

Well, indeed database entities (or "Dbforms2") do live in a different
universe than the collections.Connecting them to the permission system
through a predefined collection URI makes sense to me. Problems might
arise later when you might want to try defining permissions for specific
forms/entities, but let's talk later about later, right? :)

As said, I don't think this is a huge problem. If the collections have a
display-name you'll use that anyway, so if there's a thing called "DB
Forms" to which you can assign permissions all's fine, no?

I can't currently grasp the problem you're having.. is this a standard
case you name above?

Great :)
