No User Groups Model

[Faraz Siddiqui]

I am new to LoopBack and was researching the built-in model. I see there is User and Role models but there is no Groups model. In a production environment it makes it very messy to assign users to Roles instead of a Group. Is this addressed somehow?

This sounds like a custom requirement.  Everybody's role/permission systems have unique requirements so I don't think it makes sense to have a specific model built in for this.  After all, Loopback is a strong foundation for an application and isn't a full solution for any specific use case within itself.

Thanks for the reply. Is there any way to implement groups? I tried creating a groups table with relations to role but it doesn't work. Let's say a user is assigned to a group and that group is related to a role.
