Note that you need to create roles at a point in the tree, and they then appear and are usable on the management interfaces from that point down. I have to restrict access to resources by student subject or course. I'm currently only using about 60, but its quite possible I'll quickly end up in in the hundreds when more students start using Zope resources. The trick is to only 'create' the role when you need to grant rights to it. A role exists only in the point in the tree it is created and down, and there is nothing to stop you creating the same role in multiple locations. If you create them all in your root folder, your security screens become useless, but it is fine if you only have 5-10 defined at any particular point. -- Stuart Bishop Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Alchemist Play: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Science, RMIT University ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I believe using Local Roles, you could create a role like "WGMember", and then designate that certain people have the WGMember role in certain folders... this may work out to be cleaner than building separate roles for working group...

[Zope] Too many Roles?
Hi All, As I mentioned in my last post: [I'm trying to put in place the infrastructure to manage a trade organization that does a lot of standards work for the eBook world (http://www.openebook.org/). At the moment, the site is all static. We now have a handful of working groups with subgroups, etc. I'm trying to pick the right technology to build a much fancier site with lots of groupware stuff. Zope looks pretty good..] >>> Is it crazy to have 20 or 30 roles in my Zope system? I've got members of the site who sit on this working group or that working group and various subgroups and I need to be able to control access to the various areas of the site based on this membership. Roles seem like the right choice here, but I'm wondering if this is crzay. Does this rub any of the Zopexperts the wrong way? David ___ David Ornstein, CTO, NuvoMedia, Inc.
