You know that you can change ownership (be aware that there are two completely different types of ownership!) and permissions via the ZMI. Looking at respective the ZMI source will tell you which methods are used (this is a general approach for anything that can be done in the ZMI). In your special case, you can look at the methods defined in "AccessControl/Owned.py" (executable ownership control), "AccessControl/Role.py" (local role control, among others the local role "Owner"; and role permission mapping). -- Dieter ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
Re: [Zope] Change owner from external app
*Everything* you can do in the ZMI, you can also do from code. Most of it even via XML-RPC. In case a method you want does not publish nicely to XML-RPC, write a helper script in Zope and RPC that one. Also, install DocFinderTab for all the API doc needs you may have. Stefan On 1.

[Zope] Change owner from external app
Hi. I am writing an external application and I need to modify owner and permissions of zope files from that app. I thought about using HTTP object publishing or XML-RPC, so I checked documentation at http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/AppendixB.stx#2-45 but I can't find any method to deal with owner/permissions. Is there really no way to do this or am I just missing something? Thanks in advance.
