Re: [Zope-dev] Zope 2.2.0 alpha 1 released...
Brian Lloyd wrote To me, the more hairy issue is what if Joe *does* exist in the different Zope installation, and you *do* want Joe to continue to have ownership? Currently, you must either arrange for Joe to do the import (which will give him ownership directly), or import it and use an external method to assign ownership (which is a pain). One thing we've thought of is that perhaps superuser (and only superuser) could be able to assign ownership through a web interface, which could make this sort of thing a bit easier.
Hm. How about some sort of toggle that allows an import to maintain ownership from the import file? Course, you need to specify who is _allowed_ to set that toggle, or else anyone who can import can set up any ownership that they like.

Only if done by superuser? Otherwise, JoeM can import as SteveW, which, AIUI, is not desirable.

I was envisioning someone wih the 'import as' permission actually. This way and administrator who has privilages in a group can import as a user for which they are responsible.
Otherwise, JoeM can import as SteveW, which, AIUI, is not desirable.
If JoeM is an administrator then it may be desireable. Otherwise, if everyone is to be responsible for their own content, then importing should automatically take place under the current user and this thread is moot, really.

I don't quite understand. What is the purpose of exporting and importing? If this feature has to be used like tar in Unix I want to be able to restore _all_ properties (owner, modification date, security settings, etc) of each item! Sure you have to be root to do it in unix. -- connection reset by Peer _______________________________________________________________________ Dr. Peer Griebel Tel. +49 7581 4831 23 Geschäftsführer Fax. +49 7581 4831 11 Knoll Informationssysteme GmbH http://www.knoll-is.de Dreiköniggasse 17 mailto:peer@knoll-is.de 88348 Saulgau privat: mailto:peer.griebel@gmx.de

this might not be very useful in an ISP environment, where you do application serving with zope. In this case you want to grant all your customers (== users) the right to import/export in their areas so that they don't have to bother you. Digicool: do you plan to offer an upload functionality for .zexp import just like we have a download for the export now ? this would be _very_ handy, because I do not want all my customers to be able to access the import dir on my harddrive.

I believe this is considered to be a security hazard, because you would then be able to send more or less arbitrary pickles through the web. Anything that allows that is generally not allowed through the web. Kevin
