hi, i'm having trouble with the contributor role,

the specific case is with Quills, where we grant users with Contributor Role to add weblog entries. and indeed, such users do get a 'Add Weblog entry' link in their 'Add' menu. However, when they click on that link they get an insufficient privileges error:

Access requires one of the following roles: ['Manager', 'Owner']. Your roles in this context are ['Authenticated', 'Contributor', 'Editor', 'Member', u'Reader', u'Reviewer'].

this presents the absurd situation where we offer the user to create content eventhough he doesn't factually have sufficient privileges to do so. i wrote a test that illustrates this:

maybe i'm just not understanding the idea of the contributor role. but the name does suggest that it should grant the right to create content.

can anybody shed some light on this, please?

cheers,

tom
