We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
Yesterday's Scorpio presentations in Connecticut went very well, with over 100 attendees between the two venues.
I'm posting this as I am about to head out the door to drive to Albany, NY for a midday session, and then it is in to New York City for a presentation this evening. So, if you are the area (in NY, or later in the week in NJ, DC, and GA), please drop by.
One of the Scorpio features that we've been demoing to wide acclaim, is the increased control and flexibility in managing ColdFusion Administrator Access and RDS access. In ColdFusion today, there is a single password for each of these features, and a user with the Administrator password has full access to CF Administrator, and no access without it. The same is true of RDS.
Scorpio allows administrators to define multiple users, each with their own login. Users access can then be controlled in a variety of ways:
A user can be granted Administrative Access, either via the Administrative Console and the Admin API, or just the latter.
If granted Administrative Access, users can be given access to all Administrative capabilities, or can be explicitly granted or denied access to over twenty specific roles (for example, Data Sources, Debugging, Logging, Packaging And Deployment, and so on).
Users can also be granted RDS access, so as to be able to browse data sources, run Eclipse wizards, use the SQL Query Builder in the Report Builder, use the new Eclipse Debugger, and more.
If granted RDS access, that access may be restricted to specific sandboxes (effectively allowing you to grant access to specific data sources, folders, and so on).
About Ben Forta Ben Forta is Adobe's Senior Technical Evangelist. In that capacity he spends a considerable amount of time talking and writing about Adobe products (with an emphasis on ColdFusion and Flex), and providing feedback to help shape the future direction of the products. By the way, if you are not yet a ColdFusion user, you should be. It is an incredible product, and is truly deserving of all the praise it has been receiving. In a prior life he was a ColdFusion customer (he wrote one of the first large high visibility web sites using the product) and was so impressed he ended up working for the company that created it (Allaire). Ben is also the author of books on ColdFusion, SQL, Windows 2000, JSP, WAP, Regular Expressions, and more. Before joining Adobe (well, Allaire actually, and then Macromedia and Allaire merged, and then Adobe bought Macromedia) he helped found a company called Car.com which provides automotive services (buy a car, sell a car, etc) over the Web. Car.com (including Stoneage) is one of the largest automotive web sites out there, was written entirely in ColdFusion, and is now owned by Auto-By-Tel.
