yes. for example: # use the new group based authenticaion auth=Auth(globals(),db)
# create a group gid=auth.add_group('administrator') # chose a user, for example the user logged in uid=auth.user.id # make the user member of the group auth.add_membership(gid, pid) # give members of the group a certain permission, let's call it "edit_somefield" on db.sometable auth.add_perimission(gid,"edit_somefield", db.sometable) # explain web2py what "edit_somefield" mean db.sometable.somefield.writable=auth.has_permission ("edit_somefield",db.sometable) Hope this helps. I wish I had time to document this better. Hopefully in a couple of weeks.
