Has anyone integrated a role-based security system with LightSpeed? Any suggestions?

Hello Mike, Are you thinking about using LightSpeed to build a role provider for ASP.NET or other role-based frameworks, or are you referring to role-based security of LightSpeed entities (e.g. you must have the WidgetReader role to load Widgets, the WidgetWriter role to save Widgets, etc.)? |

Hi Ivan:
I'm speaking of establishing role based security to Lightspeed Entitities. I realize this is more of a Business Rule layer issue, I was just wondering if anyone had addressed this. I'm looking at a number of frameworks right now. Some are just data persistence, and others extend further.

Hi Mike, Further to this, LightSpeed doesn't provide built in support for role based security however the entities are designed to be modified to behave as required in your application. For example, there is nothing stopping you from adding authorization code to your entities - in fact, we encourage the creation of richer domain models rather than just simple data containers. It would likely be in a different layer, you are right, but I just wanted to clarify that LightSpeed should not get in your way for implementing this yourself. Hope that helps, John-Daniel Trask |
