Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding you, but are you adding new managers to your root acl_users folder? That's not a very good plan. You should have an acl_users folder at each point in your directory tree where permissions change. Assume you have a setup like: / a/ b/ c/ If you have three users (A, B, and C) who each have access to folders a, b, and c, respectively, each subfolder (a, b, c) should have an acl_users folder that contains one user. I would then give set up each folder with View privileges (or whatever the minimum functional privilege set is) for Authenticated Users (not Manager). User A won't be authenticated in folder b, only in folder a. If you're creating these folders programmatically, it's reasonably easy to create acl_users and user objects at the same time. If that's not enough, some additional detail on your goals would be helpful. HTH, Dylan At 09:23 AM 11/26/2002, you wrote:
Hi
I'm having problems creating a new user in Zope. I want to allow a user access to one folder only, so my thinking was; - create a new user in acl_users and grant 'manager' role - grant access on said folder to manager However, simply adding the new user changes the password for the admin user as well, so i have to resort to a backup to continue (with no new user!).
I'm obviously being very dim - I've tried searching the list but can't find anything, any help gratefully received.
