Re: [Zope] Ticking Security boxes via Python

8 Oct 2001

      from a python script
obj = getattr(context, 'objIamLookingFor')

# manage_permission(listOfPermissions, ListOfWhomToGrant,
FlagIfItShouldBeInherited)
obj.manage_permission(['View'],['Anonymous','Member'],1)

both of the lists can also be a string (I believe)

Subject: [Zope] Ticking Security boxes via Python

When an object (sub class to my new product I'm working on) is created I in
it, create a user folder and user in there with the role "TimeTable User".

Suppose that I create this container, click "Security" and makes the
following settings:
  1) View is NOT acquired
  2) To get View you have to be either "Manager", "TimeTable User" or
"TimeTable Manager"
little ticked boxes across the View permission.

How can I do this with python??

I have tried this:

def __init__(self):
    bla
    bla
    # do stuff via python instead of the ZMI
    self.manage_permission('View',
                                         roles=['Manager','TimeTable
User','TimeTable Manager'],
                                         acquire=0)

This throws an error:
Error Type: AttributeError
Error Value: aq_acquire

Traceback (innermost last):

  File C:\Program\zope240\lib\python\OFS\ObjectManager.py, line 256, in
_subobject_permissions
    (Object: LockableItem)
AttributeError: (see above)

Basically, how do I go into the ZMI, -> Security and tick boxes with python
code?
