This is assuredly a quite trivial question, but I haven't found the answer in my looks through the documentation and list archives.
I am VERY new to zope (about 20 hours). I am interested in setting up a wiki that may be viewed by all users but edited only by a group of authenticated users, my students. This security policy is very easy to arrange using roles. According to the Zope Book, zope will prompt for authentication when an annonymous user requests a resource for which he is not authorized. Under the security policy I have defined, the default ZWiki footer's edit and comment links only appear when viewed by an authenticated user, so a student who enters the wiki at the FrontPage will never be prompted for login and will not be able to edit the wiki. I realize this may be dealt with by rewriting the ZWiki footer, but I am hoping there is a simple out-of-the-box solution. Perhaps a quick way to add a link to the authentication prompt. You can put a "footer" template in your Wiki and it will be used.
I do not know the precise name. Look at the source, if necessary. Dieter
