Hi all. 

As we look to better manage multiple, technologically-dissimilar applications in order to ease application management tasks, the topic of security has surfaced. Does anyone have thoughts on whether the StrataFrame Role-Based Security (RBS) model and database could be leveraged to become a single user authentication/permissioning system used by departmental web and windows applications, both SF and non-SF based? 

This is very early in the brainstorming phase, but the idea would be that given our usually-similar user roles across multiple applications, we'd setup a StrataFrame security database and use it for all/most apps to determine a given user's role and permissions. As an example assume that one of our users is considered an "admin" and can perform similar "admin-like" duties across a suite of applications. We'd like those apps to all hit against the SF RBS database to determine what permission "keys" the "admin" has. 

Hopefully the above is succinct, yet sufficiently clear enough to make sense. Any thoughts are appreciated. Obviously this is outside the scope of what our friends in Texas had in mind, but...
