after some research i'm still stuck finding a solution to my little problem! I would like to have a kind of pyramidal hirarchical structure for my users, but with a notion of 'sibling users', let me explain.
I have users like that:
the tree means only who created who, in fact both building-admin manage the same building and must see what the other have created.
legend:
b=> building, s=>service, r=>room, a=> admin (with his id)
And my question is, how could i achieve an access on different items depending of which user i am?
Exemple:
'b1-s2-a7' should be able to see the b1-s2-r1-a11 because he's below him even if he's not in his direct tree.
also, 'b1-s1-a9' should see what was created by his 'siblings' 'b1-s1-a2' and 'b1-s1-a4'.
I have started to try with the path structure, but i would like your opinions and advices for not going in the wrong way !
Thanks by advance ;)
I would read the doctrine docs on hierarchical data. I used the extensions bundle and a nested set for something similar.
Now, regarding certain users being able to see nodes. I don't think that sounds like an issue for your database manager. I think it sounds more like business logic that you can put in your code. The extensions bundle provides some nice functions for only fetching child nodes which I think you could wrap in some convenient service for your purposes.
