Yes this seems fine but how to code this in Catalyst? :) <br>
And another thing - if I want to list users that certain this_user can
edit,<br>
I would need to go through the whole list and check for each user if <br>
"this_user" is one of the (grand)parents. <br>
<br>
Your approach is bottom-to-top and I now I am also looking for
top-to-bottom...<br>
I think I can manage to write one of these functions by myself if
someone<br>
would just give me an example how to write one of these.. <br>

Maybe an algorithmic approach ?<br>

ancestor = edited.parent;<br>
found = false;<br>

I came from C++ background rather than Perl, so I am sorry if it looks
more like C++ but I hope you got the idea. Not that there's a bit of
recursive going on there.<br>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hello!<br>
<br>
I need a help on building a model for user that has a permission to
edit <br>
other users that were created by this user or any of his children,
grandchildren etc.<br>
(difficult sentence, I know)<br>
<br>
To make this a little more understandable here's my database table:<br>
<br>
- user_id <br>
- username<br>
- password<br>
- various other data such as fname, lname, address etc.<br>
- parent_id<br>
<br>
Column "parent_id" has a value of "user_id" that created one user.
There is also<br>
a "superadministrator" with parent_id '0' that can edit everybody.<br>
<br>
Now I would like to build a model that I can use in my controllers like:<br>
<br>
if ( user_id is child,grandchild,gradgrandchild.... of logged in
$c->user ) {<br>
# has permisson to edit <br>
} else {<br>
# doesn't have a permission to edit<br>
}<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
- superadmin<br>
|__- foo<br>
|__- bar<br>
|____- john<br>
|______- doe<br>
<br>
In this example:<br>
- superadmin can edit anybody,<br>
- bar can edit john & doe<br>
- john can edit only doe<br>
- foo can't edit anybody since he has no children<br>
And there can be unlimited levels of users... <br>
<br>
There is no problem with permission to edit first child since I can
just compare<br>
logged in user's ID with edited user's parent_id but when edited user
is grandchild,<br>
grandgrandchild, (grand * n) child of $c->user then I need some kind
of model<br>
to return true/false value.<br>
<br>
I've never done that and I am also new to Catalyst so any help would be
appreciated.<br>
Thank you!<br>
<br>
