Hello everyone,

I have been using GeoServer recently and I would like to define user
permissions (in the interface or the file roles.xml).

The problem is that I don't understand how create a role other than admin or
group admin. The user should be able to view the layer and make
modifications but not access the security tab or other tabs.

In this discussion
http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/user-authentication-td3808310.html David
Winslow says: "GeoServer does not currently support any type of 'partial'
administrator; that is, there is no facility for allowing users to add data
without allowing them to use all parts of the administration interface." But
he posted this back in 2008.

Has geoserver updated its settings? Is it now possible to create a
non-adminstrator user with editing permissions?

Could an Ldap directory allow for such permissions?

Thanks for your answer,

Mireille
