giving multiple groups different access in a silverlight application

[Michael J Eber]

I have a silverlight 3.0 application which is a business data editor. Up until now I've had only a single group accessing the application and that works just fine. I applied group policies to the folder the application lives in. Now I am about to publish two editors that open the application up to two other groups. Our company is an ISO company and I have to implement security as follows:

           MainProgram -- all groups have access

EditorA EditorB EditorC EditorD EditorE EditorF
RW GrpA RW GrpA RW GrpA RW GrpA RW GrpA RW GrpA
R GrpB R GrpB -- GrpB -- GrpB RW GrpB -- GrpB
R GrpC R GrpC -- GrpC -- GrpC -- GrpC RW GrpC

For the editors that group b and c do not have access to, I should be able to limit access within the menu. But does anyone have suggestions as to how I manage the readonly right for the groups in the other editors? Thanks, Michael

You will need to implement your own logic for this - AFAIK, there is no extra support in Silverlight to implement such permissions.

I intended to implement my own logic. I guess I was looking for more guidance on that. For example, how does the menu get the group the user is in?

One way could be to load all your permissions (to groups etc - via a web service) during logon and then display only those groups that you have access to in your menu.
