Suggestions: Hierarchical Role Based Access Control & more...

[SylvainEstevez]

Hi @lethak, thank you for the kind words and suggestions.

1. Would you provide me with a practical example of your HRBAC needs, i.e. an example with somes users/roles/permissions? This will help me help you.
2. Mixing whitelist and blacklist in the returnedAttributes is kind of evil because it leads to very confusing and/or contradicting settings in my experience. But again, would you provide me with a practical example so that I can assess your needs/possible solutions?
3. I'm not against having the condition as a function, it could actually be great. Only issue is that this library makes it possible to store permissions in a database and storing functions would require to use eval() when returning from the database. I guess we could provide this functionality under an unsafe configuration flag 🤔

@lethak Should I close this issue?

Hi,
Sorry for the delay, my focus had to shift on other matters, I'll be back on it later, I think you can close this for now since I don't know when I will be back on this, and I'll probably end up creating another lib to handle all our cases anyway.

Thanks for your attention anyway, and sorry to have wasted your time.
