    <p>I would create two tables; users and ranks.</p> <pre><code>User ----- id username rankID Ranks ------ id makeChanges acceptChanges changePermissions view </code></pre> <p>Then just create the various ranks that you want in the Ranks table and set the rankID of the users to match the corresponding one that you want. Make sure to set in the Ranks table each field to a value of 0 or 1; with 0 being not having that ability and 1 having that option.</p> <p><strong>Edit</strong> If you were going to do this without a database then you could give do it with the classes or even instances in PHP5. For instance, let's say that you had set a name for each of the things that you had in your original post:</p> <pre><code>Creator - make changes, accept changes, change permissions Reviewer - Accept changes Editor - Make changes Regular - View </code></pre> <p>Then you could do something like below. (The database way would obviously be a much better way, but this is just an example.)</p> <pre><code>class Regular { public function View() { //Do the view stuff in here } } class Editor extends Regular implements Edit { } class Reviewer extends Regular implements Review { } interface Review { public function AcceptChanges() { //Do the accept changes here } } interface Edit { public function MakeChanges() { //Do the make changes stuff here } } class Creator extends Regular implements Edit, Review { public function ChangePermissions() { //Do the change permissions stuff here } } </code></pre>

    1. COThe problem I have, though, is groups of users (moderators, trusted, etc. like on Stack Overflow).

    2. CO@minitech What do you mean? You would make a rank called Moderators and then set everybody's rank id to that specific rank. Next just do an SQL query to get all of the users in that group.

    3. CO@Flipper forward thinking, you would have to add a new DB column everytime a new type of permission is needed.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
