Hi,

May I suggest adding a setup table with 3 fields.

Role, VariableName, VariableData

- Role containing the rolename/reference the setup should match,
- VariableName containing any name of an 'environmental' variable, eg.
DATEFORMAT, TIMEFORMAT, LANGUAGE, etc.
- VariableData containing the value for the environmental variable.

It might be interesting to somehow have this per user too, not only per
role. Havnt thought it through though.

best regards
Kim Madsen
