Ideas for administrative pages

[John Smity]

Does anyone have any links or ideas on how you bunch
together all your administrative pages? Currently I have
10-20 different options that users can configure
(add/change/delete) and it is getting a bit confusing and
hard to manage. Any ideas???

Use Bit Flags and Masking

Can Read Sec 1 = 2
Can Write Sec 1 = 4
Can Read Sec 2 = 8
Can Write Sec 2 = 16

For a user who can Read Sec 2 only and R/W on Sec 1 would = 12. Store 12.

We manage the security for our apps with our own security application,
which stores user ID, group names, and page access in a SQL database.
To check for access, I just call a stored procedure, pass the app
name, user ID, and page, and the access for that page is returned.
