[pmwiki-users] Security API

[Larry Lewis]

We have a login database for people using various parts of the system, 
really only 4 levels in general Admin, Developer, Member and visitor 
what I would like to do is setup PITS in various neat ways... For 
example a Developer might want a change to the software support library 
so he needs to be able to edit pages there, we will also like members to 
be able to read the PITS information but not be able to submit anything.

Hooking up the wiki to our system is obviously my job, but could someone 
see there way clear to implementing the wiki side .. by that I mean  
someone wants to read a group/page/whatever there is a call out like 
xxx( group, page, READ ) and I can return true or false .. if a username 
is required for an edit same sort of thing. Yes I do realise this will 
be slower than the inbuilt stuff but adding 5,000 passwords to the 
config.txt aint really what I would like to do .. by the way this is one 
sample I also want members to be able to request add-ons changes et al.

Thanks .. Larry
