[FX.php List] One Form/Different Privileges

[Gjermund Gusland Thorsen]

Make an array that takes care of the options.

Sample array, perhaps you can make a more appealing array
to fit your solution, but here is an idea:

$userTypes = array( 'Developer' => 'rwxrwxrwx',
	'Admin1' => 'rwxrwxrwx',
	'Commisioner => '---r--rwx',
	'Coach' => '---r--rwx',
	'Team Parent' => '---r--rwx',
	'Individual Parent' => '---r--rwx'
);

You also need to have every user belong to one of the above categories.
