Apply Layouts to Usergroups based on their Order

[svonlanthen]

What are you trying to do?

If a User is assigned to multiple Usergroups - And in some cases to multiple Layouts - I want to have control which Layout is the most "valuable" for the Usergroup to be shown.

What's your proposed solution?

Let's say i have 3 Layouts:

1. Default
2. Basic User (Can only edit Pages)
3. Extended User (can edit Pages and more)

And I have two User Groups:
Basic Users
Extended Users

Some of the Extended Users are in the Group "Basic Users" too
In this case i want the CpNav to use the Layout with the higher priority

I get the point that extende Access-Management would be unecessarely complex.
But it would be a nice way if i could priorize the Layouts.

At the moment it seems random which Layout is applied.
I want to ensure, that the User always gets the assigned Layouts with the "Highest Priority", which i will make sure, is the Layout with the most rights.

Yep, a valid point. We'll see what we can do to introduce some more control here.
