That did the trick. One oddity, though: I had to reauthenticate as the superuser to do it. Shouldn't a Manager be able to import to Control_Panel/Products?

worse yet - you can't import _at_ _all_ outside the control panel.

A manager can't access RoleManager. superuser can't own objects.

Ok - this should be fixed now in CVS. Part of the machinery that checks whether the user is really allowed to create the type of object they are importing was failing spuriously because it expected the object it was checking to be wrapped (which isn't the case when checking an imported object to see if it can be added). Update AccessControl/User.py to get the fix. Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
