secure web applications

Joseph Blatter
Hi all. Just wanted to know what packages are available to secure a web application with Seaside, this is, an ACL management with basic settings for pages (pages allowed or not allowed for users o groups) or operations (i.e. having users that cannot Save a page, but can see it).

Thanks in advance

The Pier CMS has two pluggable security systems, an ACL and a Unix
Permission based one. Both systems are tightly integrated into Pier,
so it probably doesn't make much sense to try to use them without.
However since you talk about allowed pages and operations this sounds
like a possible use-case of Pier.

Unfortunately, my application is somewhat in an advanced state for considering a  migration to Pier.
I was just hoping for a package with a kind of abstraction for re-using in other apps. I've seen the BigBrother package, it seems what I'm looking for, but someone could comment what it is about or any experiences?
