    Types, roles, groups etc. in access control. Is it a mess or am I missing something?
I've been playing around with some CMS/Portal systems lately and noodling the problem of providing fine grained access control. There seems to be a consensus of sorts around the core techniques (classifying logins, adding roles to them, putting them in groups etc.) However, my experience is that they are all implemented differently in different systems and the whole thing has an innate ability to become...well...ugly and complicated. Am I missing something?

    The rise and rise of run-time design and configuration
Software = design + code + compile + deploy + run (in that order.). What an odd way to build systems! As more and more stuff is out there on the cloud and always on, I think we will need to explode this cosy time ordering. Some day, Run-time design and implementation will be the norm .
