Hi, I am relatively new to Zope and have a question regarding acl_user folders.
I am trying to prevent 'view' access to an acl_users folder that I have created in a non-root area of my website.
I have used the management interface Security tab to uncheck the 'Acquire permission settings' for the 'View' Permission and have enabled View for the Manager role only.
I have taken the same actions for my root acl_users folder as well.
When I browse to http://mysite/myfolder/acl_users, I am presented with a view of the index_html file contained within myfolder, with the <dtml-var title_or_id> 'output' indicating that it is 'User Folder'.
Why is acl_users making use of the container's index_html? Is there a way to limit even View access to this folder?
Thanks.

gf,
Thats normal zope acquisition. When you access a folder with no viewable object it goes *up* in search of something to acquire and index_html is implied. Authorization occurs when something is about to be published or accessed - not just typed in a URL.

Hi David, I appreciate the clear explanation. That certainly makes sense. Does that mean, then, that it is not really possible to limit view access like I want without some 'extraordinary' measures? Is it possible to have this particular folder type acquire some other object instead of index_html? I suppose if I could redirect to another folder that would be sufficient. Thanks. -g
