It's seems to me there is no way in ZMI to rename a role I created. Is there a solution (python script, product, ...) to d oit ?
It's not easy: * Roles are maintained in an attribute "__ac_roles__" (a tuple). Renaming a role would mean replacing this role by the new role name in "__ac_roles__". However, this would lead to an inconsistent state, as * The "permission - role" mapping is maintained in attributes of the respective objects. After you renamed the role you would have to visit all objects in the subhierarchy and update the "permission-role" mapping. The attribute names all start with "_" and end in "_Permission". In between is a mangled version of the permission. The values of these attributes are either a tuple or list of roles. A list means, "acquire" is enabled. You can find details in the "AccessControl" package, especially in "Role.py" and "Permission.py". Dieter
