[Zope-CMF] Multiple User Folders

[Chris Crownhart]

To all,

I am building a CMF site that will have many organizations (could be up 
to 200 or 300).  Each organization will have it's own set of users, and 
probably it's own set of roles, although most of the roles will be the 
same across all organizations.

I have a couple questions, and really am just kicking some thoughts 
around, and would be curious as to anyone's ideas.

1. Should I consider having separate User Folders (I'm using GRUF) for 
each organization?  This makes sense for a lot of reasons.  Users of one 
organization will probably never be in another, so why clutter up one 
huge User Folder?

2. Should I consider just having separate CMF sites for each 
organization?  This would offer the ultimate in flexibility, but would 
probably be a maintenance nightmare.  I don't have any idea how many CMF 
sites I could have on one server, but I'll bet the number is pretty high. 

I am going to need to report across all organizations, so it might be 
nice to have all the data in one CMF catalog, but it also seems possible 
to roll up the data from each organization whether they are in one CMF 
site, or many.

If anyone has thought about this, or done any work similar, I would 
appreciate hearing their thoughts.

Thanks,

Chris
