Has this been implemented?
If so is it somewhere in the documentation?

Dear Mr. Bryan,

can you please elaborate a bit what you are awaiting from the RBAC system 
and how you would use it.

In fact we have implemented for inhouse usage an RBAC which simple means 
there is an account mgmt class with a data model allowing us to handle 
useraccounts perform login and logout, associate roles to users, associate 
permissions to roles and in turn validate if a user has a specific 
permission.

Btw. this RBAC implementation is driving the authentication and permission 
of our website and download center as well as the newsgroup and our internal 
systems.

If thats what you want i can add a workitem to the team to release that 
internal used RBAC implementation as an isolated package with source code to 
be downloaded. Of course we can not give you any release date but you can 
assume it will be this year.

Greetings Steffen,

My need was for exactly what you described, user authentication and 
permissions for a /CXP web application.
For now I've worked around it but at some point I would like to rewrite and 
implement something a little more secure.

Stephen Bryan
