Thank you for reminding me :-) Done. Now you have the "local roles" of Author, Owner and Manager. This also means that you can assign the same roles to other people. You do it the same way that you assigned the "Owner" role before. Now, let me explain a few things: 1) Right now, you shouldn't need to give special roles to anyone. I setup the folder so that everyone can contribute. You don't need to give people the Owner or Author roles (unless I made a mistake). 2) If that's not what you want (if you want more control) we can change this. 3) Very important: I also gave you the Manager role for the Germaphone folder. I should have done this before. I didn't think of it. The "Manager" role is the administrator. You can access the Zope Management Interface (ZMI) for the German folder. Go to this page: http://oooauthors.org/de/manage_main The ZMI is the administration interface for Plone. Here you can change everything about the Germaphone folder. For example, suppose you have a bad experience, and you decide you don't want just anyone to change the website. You want to control who can add/delete/move files. This is what you do: 1. Go to the ZMI: http://oooauthors.org/de/manage_main 2. At the top, click on the "Security" tab. 3. Now you see a list of permissions going down. And you see columns for the roles. You see these roles: Member == Anyone who has an account. Author == People who you gave the Author role to. You see that a number of check marks are on the "Member" colum. Uncheck all of those, and put the checkmark in the "Author" column instead. 4. Scroll to the bottom and click on "Save Changes". Finished! Now only an "Author" can change the /de/ folder. So now you can choose who can modify the /de/ folder. Cheers, -- Daniel Carrera | I don't want it perfect, Join OOoAuthors today! | I want it Tuesday. http://oooauthors.org |
