In large collaborative environments, a central question is "Is Person X allowed to do action Y on object Z?"
- OpenACS based on an object paradigm
- Permissions apply to objects, and so can be inherited
- Permissions apply to individuals and groups, and can be aggregated
Info on the permissions system can be found at http://openacs.org/doc/openacs-4/permissions.html, as well as a look into the guts of the permission system at ACS 4.0 Permissions Tediously Explained
