Hi Andreas,
well my first thought for this was :
- to extend the property window of a grouprole by a new tab called
'members of this role'
- in this new tab integrate a treectrl which contains all direct member
(roles) and if an item is a role with sub-members go down to the next
recursive level
e.g.
- / root <name-of-current-group> | | - loginrole1 ( without member ) | - loginrole2 ( without member ) | - loginrole3 (
withmember ) | | - loginrole4 (without member ) | - grouprole_a ( with member ) | | -- ...
and so on
From my point of view it'll not necessary ( or not a highpriority item )
to modify the underlying data from within this "new tab".
(An other solution could be a simple reporting solution to get a list of
people who have access to a certain object.)
regards
Tom

This isn't implemented yet; it will require an additional tab "members".

Please make a proposal how this should look like concretely, and how it
should be controlled (context menu on object, property or so?).
