vs4vijayon Role-based access control like it was meant to be

Coincidentally, We have designed somewhat similar Entitlement System for our use case. We narrowed down our requirement in one simple sentence - "A group of users can be given permission to do something on group of resources."

We just need 3 entities here: - UserGroup - ResourceGroup - Entitlement (Which is basically a mapping of userGroupId and resourceGroupId along with permissions like Widget.CREATE, Report.DOWNLOAD etc etc)

All the entitlements will be granted at Group level and no nesting of groups.

vs4vijayon Ask HN: What were the things you did that made the biggest impact at your work?

Ditto, I do the same everyday. I once had ~700 tabs opened and I usually skim through them in a 2 days to 1 week.

So I have enabled "Restore previous session" option in firefox and sometime I manually crash the firefox so the next time I open the browser it asks to me restore the 700+ tabs but they won't be consuming the memory because they are inactive and when you click on them, then only it loads the contents and consume memory.

This is how my tabs looks: https://snipboard.io/AUQ3kj.jpg

Also, I use multiple profiles of firefox and having them as separate applications like this: https://snipboard.io/mXUCqp.jpg

PS: I don't use chrome or electron based apps as they are memory hogger.
