Repository administration

[jgoffinet]

I need to emulate several repositories, with at least one admin for each repository. Users will be globally retrieved from a LDAP, but each admin should be able to set users rights, etc. in its repository. He should also be able to define groups of users for its repository.

In Alfresco world, the notion of repository is likely to be matched by spaces. Is it possible to set admin rights for one particular space ?

As far as I have understood, groups management is planned to be available in the next 1.2 enterprise release. Will groups be defined globally or will they be linked to a space ? In other words, will my repo admins be able to define groups by themselves, or will they have to ask a "global" admin ? (that would be very painful with thousands of users…)

Thanks for any help,

Jean

The groups and users are still only managed by the overall administrator.  We will provide delegated administration in the future, but there is no fixed date for it yet.

One of the ideas is that we are thinking of is another kind of "group" that is user defined - it might be the set of users invited with a particular role in a given space.

Can it be possible to allow extending the person properties like content properites. And also allow the administrator to capture the custom person properties using the admin. console.

E.g.. to add User Contact Nos, Address, Type as part of user creation.

Paul,

Is there a wiki page on this yet or some place where the ideas are brewing?
