[Multi User Environment] Will Cmsms fit my needs?

Post by litemotiv »

Hi all,

I'm thinking about switching to Cmsms for my next project, but i'm hoping someone can give me a bit more insight in Cmsms's multi-user capabilities.

This project, which will also feature a general homepage, needs certain follow-up pages to only be accessible to specific users through a login-form. For example:

- Home
- Sub 1 [only accessible to user 1]
- Sub 2 [only accessible to user 2]
etc.

User 1 + 2 do not need access to the admin interface, they only need a way to login on the homepage and access their specific pages.

My primary question would be: Can Cmsms provide me with the means to implement this (relatively) quickly? Or rather:

- I assume the user groups are primarily intended for the admin interface, but can they be used for filtering on the front-end as well?
- Can the admin interface be set up to assign certain pages as viewable for certain groups?
- Does Cmsms have a generic login -feature (or module?) for the frontpage?

I have a decent amount of php/sql knowledge, but i would want to avoid spending a lot of time building 'ugly' workarounds or hack into Cmsms' core functionality too much.

Thanks for any feedback on this subject.  :)
- lite.
