Access Control

Class Rtbiz_Access_Control

This is the main class that handles the access control given to all the users within rtBiz environment.

This class works as the base for all the permissions, user access for rtBiz family plugins. All the plugins including rtBiz will register with this class for the Access Control that it requires & from there Rtbiz_Access_Control will take it over.

It will map a matrix for permissions for Plugin Modules => User Groups (Departments) and from there user access can be set as per requirement.
