CMS with more user levels

[crxvfr]

I need a cms with more user levels than just registered, editor and author. I've looked around but *it would seem* that I'm hunting for something a little more obscure than what shows up in the serp's. I want to start a consulting site with different content that has different levels of access. Any suggestions?

I've decided to use joomla and phpbb for the protected content. opensource rules!

The Zope application server has that kind of granularity built in. One of the more popular CMS for Zope is called Plone. You can pretty much define your access levels by anything you want: type of document, document / object path, workflow status, etc. Both Zope and Plone are open source: [plone.org...]

I don't use Plone myself, but have rolled my own applications with the functionality you describe using just the Zope content management framework. I'm sure other people will chime in with their favorites :)

You can create as many user levels and types as you want in Drupal. You can set permissions for many individual features and for each content type. If you add the node access module, you can also determine which roles can see which pages and so forth. You can also set "block" access (i.e. which parts of the sidebars and such are seen by each role).

Every level of complexity you add slows things down a tad of course, so you only want as much as you need.
