Sane Drupal Perms

Submitted by Calvin on Tue, 02/16/2016 - 15:53

Stop treating roles as people. Treat them as responsibilities. Lots of people can be 'Content Editors', some can be 'Content Publishers', others 'Views Editors'. This idea is simple but powerful. Rather that trying to define a person's job in a role, create many small, single-purpose roles and then compose them together by giving many roles to your users to achieve your goals.

I don't know how I came across this, but I want it!  Understanding higher dimensions has always seemed interesting.  I've just never felt like I had the time to learn the math.  I love examples that try to illustrate higher dimensions in the context of lower dimensions. The book Flatland is a good one. (Old and free on iBooks and possibly elsewhere. https://itun.es/ca/kvvUD.l ) Another example I like is the explanation of why a wormhole is a sphere in the film Interstellar.
