If you know how to assign object permissions to a user it works the same way. Use the role path where ever you would you the user path. To put add a user to a role you have to manipulate the "group-member-set" (I think) property of the role. I know there is a Wiki example.

How do you give permissions to certains collections to a role, for example /slide/ |--files/new/ |--roles/ |--newRole/ <---the users associted to this role can just read/write "/slide/new/" Again has anyone done this with the slide client library, or even better has some example code to use as base.
