Reviewing user templates and user roles with Russell. This is a new project that is getting close to being done. The first round, round one, will be the ability to setup and edit a user template (what permissions each person gets based off a template). The user roles, coming soon, will be a tighter version of the templates and will auto cascade user permissions. The templates (round 1) will only allow you to name a template, set the correct permissions, and then apply those permissions and settings in bulk as needed. Basically, the user templates are somewhat manual and the user roles will be more automated. The future project of user roles will be tighter and more locked down.

As part of our review, we spent a lot of time going over both client-side validation and server-side validation. We try to mix the two wherever possible. It just makes things more solid and stable.
