According to this page: http://solprovider.com/lenya/security lenya
(1.2) cannot assign specific permissions to groups:
" This is a hack because Lenya 1.2.2 does not meet its own specifications:
Excerpt from http://lenya.apache.org:
Security: The access control allows you to restrict access to parts of
your site to members of a group or individuals.
This may be possible, but it is not easy, and cannot be configured by
the typical developer (meaning I could not figure it out, and my
skills are advanced well beyond the typical developer.) "
I created a group called 'myGroup' with a member 'newUser'. Then I
created a new page under the home directory login in as admin. I gave
edit role to the group 'myGroup' for that new page. (Home->newpage).
I was able to edit the new page only after I added 'newUser' to the
edit group. However, that also allowed me to edit the Home page. I
didn't want that. This seems to be a pretty basic functionality. I am
not sure what I am missing.
I am working with lenya-1.2.x and i did use that feature quite often and
it works for us.
However i tried your usecase described above:
In the defautl pub i created a new group "newGroup" and adding a
"newUser" (this user is only in the group newGroup). Then I gave the
newGroup the right to edit /newpage. The user newUser is no able to edit
/newpage but could not edit the homepage. Note that i did not add the
newUser to the edit group!
One drawback remains: The newUser can only login into the
/newpage but not into any other page. That means he has to remember the
page title in order to login into the system :-(
