user-roles

I am developing a simple CRUD to manage users/roles/groups of the application in which I am working. To manage users I'm using FOSUserBundle . What I want to do can be accomplished in several ways: Assigning roles to groups and then assign users to these groups Assigning roles to users directly But I have no idea how. I knew that FOSUser BaseUser class already has a column roles and in the documentation of FOSUser explains how to establish a ManyToMany relationship between users and groups but do not talk anything about roles. The only idea that comes to mind is to create an entity to manage

What are the standard user role names that a majority of sites could all use? Below is a list of the best roles that I could think of (in order of importance), but I am hoping to find at least ten role names for a user system I am working on. admin: Manage everything manager: Manage most aspects of the site editor: Scheduling and managing content author: Write important content contributors: Authors with limited rights moderator: Moderate user content member: Special user access subscriber: Paying Average Joe user: Average Joe Another thing that I'm interested in, is whether or not these names

We are using Symfony2's roles feature to restrict users' access to certain parts of our app. Each of our User entities have many Subscription entities that have a start date and an end and users can purchase yearly subscriptions. Now, is there a way to dynamically add a role to a user based on whether they have an 'active' subscription? In rails i would simply let the model handle whether it has the necessary rights but I know that by design symfony2 entities are not supposed to have access to Doctrine. I know that you can access an entity's associations from within an entity instance but that

I have developed a Single Page App that uses a REST api. Users are required to login to access the application. When a user logs in they are redirected to /dashboard. On this URL / route, I would like to load a different template and controller based on the role of the user (e.g. normal user or admin user). I have looked at https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/wiki under the templates section but none of the options support what I am trying to achieve. By using templateUrl and function (stateParams) I am not able to inject the service that helps me to determine the user role so that I can

I am trying to make an app with Rails 4. I am looking at role management and want to use Rolify because it supports instance level role assignment. For others looking at the same problem, there are 2 really good answers below (I can only tick one but I used both). Check out lorefnon & Cyb3rDud3 answers below). I'm still figuring it out, but have made a migration with an array (as lorefnon shows) and the controller/routes functions (as Cyb3rDud3 shows). What is completely baffling me is that all the documents for the Rolify gem use the console to define roles. How do I define roles in my code?
