I have three groups of users: A, B, C.
C should have all permissions that A und B have. How can I do this?
You create two roles, A and B. You give all users in group A role A, all users in group B role B. You give users in group C roles A and B.
In theory this is just fine - but in practice this may be a pain. Usergroups would be a blast to have: 1. Lets say that we have GroupA and GroupB 2. We then have user 1-25 in GroupA and user 26-51 in GroupB 3. Next - folderish ObjectX is read-only by GroupA and read/write/create by GroupB So - suddenly Management decides that user 2, 5, 15, 21 and 25 should av the right to alter existing information i ObjectX. Currently we would change the security on ObjectX concerning the given users. That may currently be done the hard way or a easier way. If we had access to groups we could then create GroupC and put the given users into that group. Next - if user 30, 32, and 35 where to loose their write/create privileges on ObjectX all one have to to is move the users into the right group (GroupC). I belive that Zope should support both the currenct scheme and a new scheme involving groups. \Ruben
