[IxDA Discuss] what control to use?

[Vermette, Joan]

 I guess I was wondering why you can't have a back end do the work for
the user -- know who he/she is, serve up only what's relevant...  Unless
the application is specifically meant to be used to assign rights, as a
one time, or a periodical thing?

If there are up to 20 rights it can be annoying and potentially error
prone to make users tick a number of check boxes. Do you really need
all these rights? Is it possible (based on the underlying business
logic) that if User X has right #12 he will also probably need right
#17?  It's worth having a close look and check if you can simplify the
selection by grouping some rights or giving some sensible defaults.
