Description

Hello, with Typo3 <= 4.5.x and <= 6.2.x,
user groups are handled as a comma-separated list
of ids inside a string field:

fe_users.usergroup = tinytext (255 chars)

This limit is a problem in an environment using a lot of groups,
(like when you use extensions for ldap integration).

I think it's a delicated question: IF you will
plan to change the way to map user/groups,
I hope there will be some migration tool
(sql/php/bash script, wizard through BE,...)
or backward compatibility... or maybe just
a way (setting?) to customize the field (from tinytext
to text, etc.) without fear that in the next
upgrade the install tool db check could reset
the type to tinytext: but yes, clear, if it's
a rare case, as a workaround we could apply
a sql ALTER, and then it could be
site's admin to that have to be careful
during upgrades...

Thanks for your attention and patience,
Bye
