I then add a user to the acl_users folder contained in my FilteringFolder. I define a new role for this user and assign it to my new user. From the security tab, I let my new role have access to 'View management screens', but nothing else. I then close my browser and reopen it. I try to access the management interface to my folder using the URL given above. This time, instead of authenticating as the super user, I authenticate as my new user. Now, instead of zope halting, I get the default index_html screen for the folder. I don't see contents, and as far as I can tell, my manage_main is never invoked. I don't understand this. I'm sure this is some permission problem, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Can anyone help explain what might be happening and what I would need to correct to make this work? I can provide more information if that would help.

I still don't know for sure, as I don't have the time to investigate, but I think there are some problems with the security interface, making security too tight. It just doesn't work as expected. Try this: Create your Role and user in the top-level acl_users folder. Then give that Role permission to view management screens either on the top-level folder or on your own product. -- Martijn Pieters, Software Engineer | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org | mailto:mj@digicool.com ICQ: 4532236 | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 -------------------------------------------
