Hello,

in the permissions tab it is possible to set permissions for
particular parts of document tree (folders or documents). However, I
noticed that it works only for the preview site. After restricting
access to a folder, I cannot see it when I log into the repository
using a browser. But the corresponding folder in the live site is
still visible. What I would expect is that setting permissions in CMS
would affect both preview and live sites, or at least a mechanism that
does that (i.e. publishing a document publishes it's permissions).

Why do I need this? In our project we want to log into our portal with
the same credentials as into CMS (that is using hippo repository
users). And we thought that it would be convenient and flexible if
restricting access for a group/user to certain documents in CMS would
also affect documents visibility in portal. But without propagating
the permissions to the live site I see no way to accomplish this.

Or maybe we are missing something here? Maybe there's a better
approach to restricting access to certain parts of the portal? Any
thoughts?

Regards,
Chris
