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.
