Need levels of permissions #247

Closed ArtanisAce closed 7 years ago

ArtanisAce commented 7 years ago

Hi! I've started to use ACL, but I need to have 'level' of permissions in my app; I have 4 levels, and each level also grants the previous one. For some resources, just having level 1 is enough; for others you need level 3... how do you think I can handle this with acl API? If I could just add all the levels to an array and just look for one of them... is that possible? Thanks!

Just add "1", "2", "3" and "4" as permissions, then use some custom logic in ACL system to remove top-level permissions when removing something like "1" or "2".

I got a workaround for this; just when I have a level of '3', I add also permission for '2' and '1' separatedly. Works good. Thanks @deksden for your answer!!

@ArtanisAce : also you can try to use "hierarchical" role system: make role "1", then add role "2" with additional permissions, then make role "2" to have parent role "1".
