If you look in patch 434, I have created groups that allow 
opaque membership, so that only transparent groups allow 
you to see who else is in the group.

This allows for groups that assign 'roles' to not have to 
broadcast their members to the users.

Most applications honor the groups and the memberships 
therein.

The HR application on the other hand does not. It simply 
shows you everyone in the system.

When PHPGroupware is set up for multiple domains, do you 
need multiple databases to support the extra domains?

And how do you prevent users of one virtual domain from 
seeing users in a different virtual domain?

One way would be to make the HR application honor the group 
membership and to automatically make all users of a single 
virtual domain, belong to a initially to a group with the 
same name as their domain. when the account was created. 
This group would be ONLY for HR group usage and those 
people in the HR group would be visible to others in the 
same group. Just like we have for the Time_Track facility.

P.S. How do I get patch 434 incorporated into the main 
tree??

Thanks!!!

Hi,

phpGW does support multiple domains.

As for "How come all users are by default available in the 
user directory?"  I am not really sure what you.  Could you
please explain and I'll try to answer the question

Cheers
