[wp-hackers] Managing a lot of content editors, roles and permissions

[Dino Termini]

Hello list,

I am working on a large scale website which has multiple sections 
(roughly associated to departments in the organization), and each 
section has its own group of contributors, editors, publishers and 
administrators. We will be using WordPress MU to segment content editors 
and assign appropriate roles and privileges to each of them. The site 
has currently about 80 editors.

We've also looked at plugins that extend WP's roles and capabilities, 
but we would prefer using as much off-the-shelf functionality as possible.

I was wondering if the list has any pointers to share about best 
practices, do's and dont's, etc, on setting up a permission management 
layer in WP for large scale websites.

Thank you,
Dino.
