[Erp5-dev] to Role or Not to Role - this is a question

[Tomasz Brzezina]

I wonder if I should use Role property or should I make definitely new role.

for now persons in my database can have such roles: staff, merchant and
customer. But one person can be (staff AND customer) OR (merchant AND
customer) OR staff OR merchant OR customer. So i made multilistfield and
it works perfectly. But I'm afraid, that erp5 use role property for some
processes so maybe better is to make new property and leave role alone
(not use it at all)

You should use ERP5Security. There is some intro in the wiki.
Never create new Zope roles (this is a major principle in ERP5). Only
use the 5As.

Sorry, I misunderstood the question.
About role category:
- one can have multiple roles
- consider using function too (ex. merchant sounds like a function,
not a role).
