Hello,
Firstly, I seem to come across another reason to be grateful for Role Scoper and for the helpful nature of this forum everywhere I turn. That said, I hope I'm the only nerd working on this Friday night, and I won't expect an answer on this anytime soon!
Here's my feature suggestion:
I'd like to be able to assign Group-style "positions" for individual users without having to create a new group with a single member for each position. For example, I run a site for a nonprofit industry association. We've got officers and a web team, each of which has specific individual titles (treasurer, vice president or events editor, news editor, respectively). Officers change frequently and I hope(!) we'll be adding a bunch of new editors soon. So, I'd like to be able to assign a user to a Position, and put that position in a group. Positions could be given specific permissions just like Groups and individuals can. Then, when people shift around, I could just move the new user into the right position rather than having to reset all the permissions.
This would also be handy for automating a "Webteam" or "Officers" page on the blog itself. Cycling through a "webteam" group wouldn't work because they need to be listed in order of responsibility rather than alphabetically.
Thanks for considering!
