PUR Users on Author instance

Hello everybody!

Is it possible (without massive rewriting and/or other black magic ;-), i.e. ideally just using some configuration) to store PUR users in some shared workspace, so I could:

1) manage them from the Author instance;
2) give some of them ("power users") access to the Admin Interface, so they could manage some kind of content?

Best regards,

Jozef

Yes, perfectly possible. If I understand you correctly. You need to do several things:
# Make sure the public users are stored in a separate new JCR workspace. E.g. publicusers. By default they are stored in the overall 'users' JCR workspace. Also make sure that the 'public users' subapp in the Magnolia 5 Security App (are we talking about Magnolia 5?) listens to this new workspace.
# Use Jackrabbit clustering to cluster this new JCR workspace between the public and author instance. See: http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS/Clustering
# Give these users the correct permissions.

We do the 1st two things for one of our projects and this works very nicely indeed.
