Hi, I''m building an application which is going to require quite fine grained access control. Deciding if a user is allowed to access an action will probably require checking quite number of different rules, so a simple role-based system won''t be flexible enough. The approach I think I will try first is, if it''s possible, to ignore permission issues inside the

Hello list, as I'm writing a little perl parser for queue_log analysis, I'd like to know *which* telephone answered a specific queue call.
