In grp table you could associate users to groups and check it in the config file with is_user_in() statement. This way you would make different routing decissions based on the membership.
As guide: if(is_user_in('international')){ //allow user to make itnernational calls } if(is_user_in('blocked')){ //user is blocked xx_reply('503','Forbidden'); }
In version 2.0 (ottendorf) and further, now there are *attributes*, which can be associated to the whole installation, to the different domains the installation is responsible for, for the users, and for the uri the user can have. This attributes are stored in the database in different tables (global_attr,domain_att,user_attr,uri_attr) and can be loaded with load_attributes function. This way you can create an attribute used in user_attr table named group and with the value of the older grp table. That's the reason group module is not needed anymore.

yes, i was talking about the 'group' module. I still see it in 0.9.6. Moreover, there's even a table 'grp' in the ser database. Even if it has been removed now, i would like to know what it is/was used for. thank you kumar _______________________________________________ Serusers mailing list Serusers@lists.iptel.org http://lists.iptel.org/mailman/listinfo/serusers
