Drupal Architecture ~ An architectural vision

Architectural Keys: The parameters of usability and safety applied to the chosen components are architecture

We talk about usability as a set of techniques that simplify the management of a website and the approach to the needs of users or customers.

The ability to encapsulate a product like Drupal on a set of abstractions that simplify the model approach and the result is the customer's business architecture.

By default, a user should never guess what the product is Drupal behind your site.

It is therefore important to properly manage the portal and assign roles visibility on account of the needs of each role.

We believe you need the following four roles:

- Administrator: Knower of Drupal.

Is allowed to do any action on the portal.

- Supervisor: Knowing the Business.

Must be able to perform any actions that manage the business. You do not need any knowledge of Drupal.

Authenticated user: Permission to modify, add and remove some facets of the business

Anonymous user: Any visitor to the portal

These roles may be increased because of the needs of the site.

The role of each role is a determining factor in the security of the site.

The administrator should verify all new patches of security that can be implemented in order to try to make the security measures are adequate.

The architect of the system must properly define the actions to be taken because of the role of each action, making sure to respect privacy of the business criteria.

Due to usability in Brqx Group, we have two design methodologies applicable:

Light Potals - light Portals

The objective of this methodology is to minimize the options available to the needed adjusting.

At the same time apply methodology Liquid Potals

Its basis is to have the maximum amount of information without the need for screen scrolling.

The philosophy is that all actions are within sight of the user, provide agility to move like a liquid.

These methodologies are available to an appropriate architecture that you want to bet on the simplicity and ease of management of a site.

At the same time an architect should attempt to develop a system so that normal ortho in all portals, operating procedures are similar.
