Permission module from solspace.com

Mitch at Solspace was kind enough to let me use the Permission module recently. After some back and forth he has released Permission for public use.

This module is becoming the entire backbone of the currently ongoing redesign of distant, early morning. It allows you to protected any content anywhere in a public template in a way that is both intuitive and secure. Furthermore, you can nest permission points so that one group can grant permissions to another group (as an example) and you can have forms to request permission to a secure resource. Permission points can overlap and membership in those points can overlap. Permission points can only be requests by ExpressionEngine members so the module really leverages ExpressionEngine's already built-in capabilities in a very intuitive and clean way.

It's friggin' brilliant. It addresses one of my own longstanding issues on this site, one that has crossed over every publishing platform that I've used and probably the only major qualm I had. The only next step to this would be a major incorporation of content protection that occurred at database level and not at template level. And I can see those two concepts working harmoniously, too, in a really nice way.

I responded to this before I had to get EH to revert to a backup for me.  The module is amazing and I’ll writeup how I’m using it - probably tomorrow. Today was spent recovering from being an idiot.

For anyone coming across this, I did write-up how I am using Permission, code samples and all. =)
