Access Levels

dianab

I am trying to gain a little more insight into the access control. I have reviewed the video and am picking apart the Library demo application.

Under system user I see Member and Regular user
Under Access Levels I see Guest, Member and Operator
Under BO all I see Regular User and Member

What I don’t understand is how there can be an access level without a BO

I hope someone can provide a bit of input and how best to set it up for my application. Below are my BO

Customers
Trainers (can also be customers)
Staff
Admin

thank you for the help,

Diana

Diana,
Here are some thoughts. First of all regarding BO and accesslevels. It is not necessary to have a BO per accesslevel. You can for example use the RegularUser BO as the only user BO and then each user would have a different accesslevel. The accesslevel is set in a attribute in a user BO (take a look at the RegularUser attributes).

I use a different BO per user because the users I have in my application (s) have a whole range of specific attributes and having it all in RegularUser would be a big mess.
