wouldn't it be easier to use a table security groups and load all groups from that table into the security groups tab in the project settings.

now you have to maintain a table and the tab to show the roles on the websites.

Jurien,
but current version let you create users groups during project design or event do not use them at all.
Do you think it is not good?

I have to agree with Jurjen. The security groups should be database driven. What happens
if you have several CCS applications for the same database? You're going to have
to maintain/synchronize several separate security group settings. There is no way
to share the security groups among applications. :(

If the security groups were in a database table, it would travel with the database.

Just my 2 cents. :)

I would agree that the security should be driven by a database table(s). This surprised me when I started using CodeCharge and the Studio.

One of the things I have historically done with my Intranet clients is use the NT Authentication instead of the simple security for log on. There are a lot of benefits, especially since you automatically know who has hit your site without them logging in. One of the plans is to try to convert the CC/CCS security over to allow for NT Authentication using IIS/ASP. Given the need define the security levels within CC/CCS itself is going to make it much more difficult than I believe that it needs to be.

Just my 2.5 cents worth ....

Speaking of an ideal world:
If YES should realy make the groups db driven I would prefer an n:n relationship between users and groups. That means using a user table, a group table and an additional table for the relationships, so that users can be members of several groups.

I also prefer the security groups in table model

this solution by scheaff is good:
If YES should realy make the groups db driven I would prefer an n:n relationship between users and groups.

I would like to choose the table for each project.

I wonder why Yes choose to limit the security options to what the saw fit. I feel it would have been easy to add a user defined field to the choices they offer.
Something like:
- user id (field)
- login (field)
- password (field)
- sec.level(field)
- user defined (field)
I now have to figure out how to extend the login procedure to include a "domain" field I have been using in a modified CC login procedure.
