<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><meta content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></head><body >Dear Team,<br><br>We have launched a separate mailing list to discuss about <b>Access Control
Lists</b> (aka Role based Security Management) in vtiger CRM. I hope you agree with me that <span style="font-weight: bold;">ACL functionality</span> has a massive impact on vtiger
core architecture and it will be going to define the next generation Open
Source CRM for enterprise market.<br>
<br>
I would like to take this opportunity to invite all interested people to
actively participate in defining various scenarios for functionality
validation, so that our end-user community will have a hassle free
deployment after v5 GA release. As a first step, Richie, Don, Frank Piepiorra, and myself
posted different papers at different times. We would like to unify all
our efforts into one place so that community will have better
experience while working with ACL in future. <br>
<br>
I would like to mention specially <b>Dr Frank Piepiorra</b> and <b>Brian Laughlin</b>
for taking up interest on this subject and motivating us
starting a special mailing list. I also invite all interested Developers,
Testers, Analysts, Usability Gurus, and Tech Writers to participate
actively in ACL Group.<br>
<br>

<br>
PS: We have decided to use this group as <span style="font-weight: bold;">ACL Group</span> (aclgroup) instead of Security
to avoid any confusion as other Security management aspects, such as data
protection, firewalls, vulnerabilities etc also comes under Security purview. If needed we will start new
groups for other areas.<br>
<br>

Looking forward for all your suggestions and comments in improving our ACL functionality.<br>
<br>
