<br>
I'm looking for a way to control access to different Fusion and Mapserver (v5.2.1) functionalities. I would like the following options by requiring users to log in. Based upon the clearance level if the user, it should be possible to control <br>
* Access to layers<br>
* Access to fusion Tools/Widgets (hide widgets for some users)<br>
* Be able to check what access level a user has within any Fusion PHP script (and subsequently act upon this level (show/hide content, allow/prohibit certain queries through a custom querying widget etc.)<br>
* Perhaps even allow people to save stuff (i.e. previously done queries)<br>
<br>
It would also be important to be able to create different 'access levels'.<br>
<br>
I'm no PHP wizard (I know enough to create some custom widgets and use mapscript), especially not on the whole 'session & security' thing. I'm trying to figure out what to do: <br>
<br>
* Use/alter any existing user access control mechanism: Are there any options that you know of that would be suitable?<br>
* Or outsource it to someone who can create such a framework.<br>
<br>
Because it has to interact specifically with Fusions scripts I decided to post it here instead of the mapserver user list.<br>
<br>
I would welcome any ideas that you have!<br>
<br>
Cheers, Tom<br>
