#31091 alphaphoenix: 

Will the plugin have default access rules for every page/group so that the process is streamlined during validation? Or even when user is first submiting page will the plugin be set to a certin combonation of access rights so that the user does not have to make changes to it thereself?

The plugin will extend regular cot_auth behavior, so whatever you configure in the admin panel for page rights (for that category and usergroup) will be the default. Basically you should see it as a way to make exceptions on the rules set in the rights in the admin panel. There is also a possibility to configure access rights to a page for all users at once (which can then be overruled for individual users). It isn't meant to be used on a large scale, since checking access credentials for individual users will slow down the whole system. It's meant to work somewhat like google docs filesharing in which you can invite another user to cooperate on a document together.

Perhaps an option in userprofile to allow users to configure the default setting would be a good addition.
