A number of years ago, perhaps 4 - 8?, I read an article by IIRC a Perl
programmer, who presented a complete database schema specifically
designed to handle users and their roles. I was astonished by the
complexity of his solution, but can't say that there was anything wrong
with the logic.

Ie spent a hour or so yesterday trying to find it (including booting
Windows to check some old docs), but I haven't been able to find it.

If anyone knows what I so vaguely referring to, please post a URL.

TIA.
