More flexibility for moderation

RdeBoer, Crea, thank you very much for your answers, sorry for my poor English, it's not my native language, that's why I apologise in advance if I'll be not so clear.

I'll try to explain my problem better: the "matrix" approach I've already explained in my comment here http://drupal.org/node/408018#comment-1779526 works very well in a situation where a moderator have to moderate only and only one department.

The problem rise when there's the necessity that a moderator have to moderate more than one department: in this case, with the configuration above, the moderator will see for revision not only contents from authors belonging to his department, but from others one too, and that's what i DON'T want.

EXAMPLE:

• 2 departments, "sport" and "art"
• Moderator_1 have to moderate ONLY Sport department and his authors can post contents only in sport (so Moderator_1 will have "moderator" and "sport" roles, his authors have "author" and "sport" roles).
• Moderator_2 have to moderate Sport and ART departments and his authors can post contents as in "sport" as in "art" (so Moderator_2 will have "moderator" and "sport" AND "art" roles, his authors have "author" and "sport" AND "art" roles)

But doing so Moderator_2 will see also Moderator_1's authors contents in his pending table! While he have to see ONLY his authors contents.

That's why I suggested to resolve the problem with a "parent-child" user mechanism, so an hypothetical "Edit ONLY CHILDRENS content" permission can be assigned to moderators.

I've also suggested to intruce "parent-child" user mechanism in a NEW and separate module because it could be useful for other reason in other situations in combination with others modules/projects.

That's all, thank you very much for your interest in this problem.
