User Management - Configuring through code

Question

Create a session variable in the datasyn project. In a filter we will set a sesssion variable, the value of the session variable will be an array of strings. Each element of the array will contain the groups associated to the user. In Portal admin tool we have to configure to do entitlements from this session variable.
Does anyone have any idea how to configure the entitlements in portal admin console thorugh a session variable?
Please let me know if this approach of configuring user management through code is feasible?
Thanks,
Sid

Answer 1

Just in case you missed it , if the condition is always based on the user's groups then you need not use session property set , you can directly use 'Add Groups to Role' when you are editing the visitor entitlement
As a rule i would tend to avoid putting things in the session unless there was no other way. (in your case , everytime the user's group changes the session must be updated , it also means that changing the groups through any external means e.g. directly updating say the user ldap would not reflect in the users current session -- unless you wrote more code)
The benefit of using the session would be that this need not be directly mapped to a group , it can be anything you want.
