[IxDA Discuss] what control to use?

[Jim Drew]

If you're concerned about the space required, maybe something like this:

( ) role one
( ) role two
( ) role three   <? icon>

<?> show a tooltip: "You will choose the rights associated with this role next"

(Or other means of showing that there's another step coming for choice #3.)

Then you show the Rights on the next page (if they chose #3), or make them appear further ndown the current page when they choose #3.

Since there are potentially lots of rights attached to #3, but none for the other two, showing  the list of rights can be either confusing (why does this choice gets all those but the others do not) or scary (jeez, I don't want to choose that one and do all that work!).  Revealing that there is s more to come with that one but not what/how much there is would probably be a good thing.
