See the proposal on the wiki at https://github.com/GeoNode/geonode/wiki/GNIP-8---Groups-and-Group-Permissions

I think groups and group permissions would be a welcome addition to GeoNode.  Are there mockups or anything of the group management interface?

The wireframes are referenced in the GNIP. I haven't pulled and tested
the latest code recently to see how closely they match, but they were
used as the basis for development, so I suspect that they follow them
quite closely.

Right I did see that link, I just got pulled away from my keyboard halfway through writing that mail.  Anyway, this is probably ready for PSC voting; I propose we mark it for inclusion in GeoNode 1.2.0  (implicit in that proposal is a +1 from me)

The biggest issue I see at this point is Eric's groupsecurity branch
is based on using django.contrib.auth.group which works with the
existing security (Auth Backend) implementation in geonode.core and
Eldarion's work is based on a new own group class which I dont believe
works out of the box with Eric's work against
geonode.contrib.auth.group.

Luke can you respond and let us know what the current thinking is on this front?

Thanks,

Jeff

This has been requested by many of our clients and colleagues. I love
the mockups and assuming the details of the potential conflict with
the other groups is resolved it is a +1 from me too.
