User Management In Play

[Rushen Aly]

Hi everybody,

Actually this is not a question regarding Play Framework totally. I am
a very rookie web developer and i am building applications in my spare
time. I am working at a totally different job. I am having fun with
web development.

My question is about user management in an application especially in
ones developed with play framework. In my project, the application can
be used by everybody without any signing in process but to manage
content i have three different user types.

1. Content Supplier : Supplies content.
2. Editor : Checks content and approve or reject it if approve then
content is published.
3. Admin : Superman, controls every function and permissions.

How can i model this application? By using different controllers and
different templates for every user type. That means repating many
things. Or is there any more compact way of this? Can you give me
examples and suggest me some references to learn something about this
process.

Thank you...
Rushen

If you have permissions, you need to "know" who is using the app, so you need some sort of signin process.

I think i couldn't express my intention properly. There will be a
signing in process for these user types but i can not make my mind
clear about modeling signing in process and the processes after it.

Ok, I get it now :)

Typically, you'll have a "User" object, with a role field (possible values are admin, editor, etc.)

On each action, you'll check if this user can call this action by ckecking his role(s) (with a @Before for example). Have a look at samples play's folder, I think you'll find what you're looking for (or at least, find hints).
