Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, the
appropriate
place to manage
user permissions is within MySQL. You grant select access to the
relations table for everyone, but only the administrator gets
access to
UPDATE the relations table.
this won't work for ISPs - can't see them handling the relations for a few
hundred clients databases. so there is only two possibilities:
a) have the relationstable in the users database
or
b)
for modifying the relationtable test the users rights on the table. i have
written a script to modify the relationtable (without this feature) and sent
it to marc, hope it will be in cvs as soon as he finished restructuring the
tbl_properties page (it is suppossed to be called with a link from this
page).
i think the neat way to do it would be to make this script check if a user
wants to put in links from table "a" as mastertable to test if he has e.g.
the alterpriv for table "a".
