Levels hierarchy – confirmation

    I just want to clarify the relationship between ‘extended’ levels.
    One example I’ve seen was for sports medals. That is:
    Bronze,
    which is extended by Silver,
    which is extended by Gold,
    which is extended by Platinum.

    My site will contain a variety of content and functionality which will be accessed by various User roles, including public visitors (i.e. not logged-in). The User roles will be arranged in a hierarchy where a given Level adopts the authorities of the level(s) before it (i.e. similar to the ‘cascade’ effect used in CSS).
    Given this, I plan to create the following Levels for my site:
    Public/Visitor,
    which is extended by Location Supervisor,
    which is extended by Location Manager,
    which is extended by Organization Manager,
    which is extended by Organization Administrator,
    which is extended by Domain Manager,
    which is extended by Domain Administrator,
    which is extended by Site Administrator,
    which is extended by Site Super-Administrator.

    If possible, please clarify/confirm whether this is a viable application of the plugin features. Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Apologies for the delayed response here.

    Yes, levels will inherit the capabilities and access conditions from the levels they extend.

    In general you do not need a level specifically for visitors, unless there is some content you only want visitors to see.

    I hope this helps.
