To set a default role according to the user.

Question

Hi,
I would like to set different default roles according to users. For example, we have the following prerequisites:
1) 3 roles: roleA | roleB | roleC (in this order).
2) 3 differents users: user1, user2, user3.
So, if I log-in with the user1, the default role should be the roleA; if I log-in with the user2, the default role should be the roleB; and so on.
But I don't want to change the order of the roles using "sort priority" property.
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Samantha.

Hello Samantha,
Does each of the users need to have each of the roles? If not you could just not assign the other roles except the one you want to display as default role (a assume you mean the role that is displayed first after logon).
If each of your users need every role, I am afraid your requirement is not realizable unless you use the sort priority property. Why don't you want to use it in the first place?
On possible yet circuitous way to meet your requirements would be the following:
Create another role for each of your user(-group)s. Say in your case Role 1, Role 2 and Role 3 which are not defined as entry points.
Assign roleA, roleB and roleC to Role 1 where roleA has the lowest sort priority; and assign user1 to role 1.
Assign roleA, roleB, roleC to Role 2 where roleB has the lowest sort priority; and assign user 2 to Role 2
and so on.
Of course you need to use sort priority for that and I think thats hard to maintain. (probably not even what you are looking for)
Maybe you can get a litle more concrete what you are trying to achieve.
