    Hello Everyone,

    I would like to propose a change to the current login system. For web users we currently use the same Session variables as that of the admin users. This can cause a problem when testing sites with weblogin enabled pages when someone clickes the Launch Site menu.

    Currently when this menu is click the system will show that the manager user is logged in becuase both systems uses the same session variables. Changing this will complete separate web login variables from admin session variables.

    Does anyone agree?

      This makes sense to me and seems like it would make it very straightforward to allow "in place" content editing later on the front end by checking the type of session and allowing it assuming appropriate permissions were in place.

      Would this make it easy to support the contentEditable parameters allowed by IE and (now!) Safari?

        Yes front-side editing could still be supported

          works for me, I'm in favor of fully separating web logins from CMS logins. Also, agreed on the point of in-place editing, that will be killer.
