Target Release

Roller Weblogger 4.1

Original Authors

Dave Johnson

...

For ease of installation and management, Roller is able to manage it's own users permissions without relying on any external system other than its RDBMS. We definitely don't want to lose that easiness, but we do want to make it possible to plug Roller into existing sites and applications that have their own permissions management systems.

...

  • Enable Roller to optionally read/write user-weblog permission information in an external system instead of it's relational database.
  • Define a User Permissions API and make it possible to plugin User Permissions API implementations without having to extend a UserManager implementation.
