Ask HN: Getting started with Access Control (B2B web application)
How would I get started implementing access control for an business-to-business web application.
Any tips would do - design guidelines, warnings, frameworks, implementation approaches, libraries to use, etc.

I will need access control to allow users within and across companies to collaborate with appropriate restrictions.

- shorbaji 17y agoThanks. The plug-in description (which includes RBAC) looks like it might be useful. I did toy with rails while trying to choosing a framework over the past two months - but chose to develop using Django. Is there an equivalent based on Django/Python?
