to select an organisation before performing user administration functions.
This is standard user administration.
If the logged-in user belongs to a partner organisation, they should only get
to see information pertaining to their own organisation. They cannot select
an organisation from a dropdown because they are sandboxed within their
own organisational context. This is delegated user administration.
Tip 4
: Tailor the appearance of the delegated administration module to the
partner organisation
The look-and-feel of the administration module can be tailored to conform
to the style of the partner organisation's website, because the logged-in
user's organisation is one of the attributes that is passed into the
application. You only need to hold stylesheets on your website with
appropriate naming conventions, and use codes for partner organisations
that can be substituted into a template to get the appropriate stylesheet
name.
Using some very simple techniques, you can produce a fairly sophisticated
and flexible user administration module for both internal and external
administrators, and also secure it effectively.
