Architecture / Installation

Your model can work, but you'll need to assign your groups based on category — not per-customer.

Try this...

1. Give Registered users tiki_p_view only. (Remove the tiki_p_edit.)
2. For each category (FOO), create two groups: FOO_EDIT and FOO_VIEW
3. For each *_EDIT group, assign tiki_p_edit.

So you'll now have a structure similar to:

etc.

For each category, assign VIEW permission to its *_VIEW and *_EDIT group. (I assume that if you can edit something you can, by default, view it.)

Now, for each customer, you simply assign them to the appropriate Group. For example:

• If customer A can read all categories but edit only Foo:
  • Foo_Edit
  • Bar_View
  • Alpha_View
• If customer B can edit Foo but read only Bar:
  • Foo_Edit
  • Bar_View
• If customer C can edit View and Bar but only view Foo:
  • Foo_View
  • Bar_Edit
  • Alpha_Edit

etc.

In this model, there's no "customer" group. You simply assign each username to a group, based on categories.

HTH,
