Re: Re[4]: Understanding Privileges

> >> 2. What is 'realms' and how we can use it practically?

A simple example:

As you know a security check is done by comparing the privileges a user has
with a mask in the code.

Both privileges and masks contain a realms component. Right now that
component is ALL everywhere, iirc.

Imagine you create a module where all the masks are defined to require realm
= 1. You can now define appropriate privileges so that only people with the
correct realm in their privileges can access that module.

Roger Keays has created a demo site to illustrate realms. You can see it at
