Re: [PHP-DB] Role Based Access Control and Role Based Security

I developed an implementation that combines roles with fine grained
access. Each role is given a set of permissions ( the current set is
global to the app, the next will be per application) in it, I specify
a db field ( varchar 255) that holds a binary permission scheme. I.E.
10011110100001111 etc where each value is an on / off 1/0 permission
set. This is mapped to a constant for each position so that each
module can have a set of permissions like ADD, DELETE etc.

This scheme then controls the menu / buttons to produce a workflow for
the application.
