I'd say it's a feature, allthough a feature one should be aware of. ;-) Note that the security machinery is not confused by this but will always compute the proper intersections. Note also that the same issues are present wrt local roles! Local role mappings do not go away just because you delete the role. hth, Stefan On Samstag, Mär 22, 2003, at 06:20 Europe/Vienna, Felipe Barousse Boué wrote:
Now, the question is: Is this a bug or a feature ? I would have expected Zope, either to:
1.- Do not allow role deletions if there are users with that role assigned.
or
2.- Delete the role with no further questions and delete all assignments to any and all users that have that role assigned at role deletion time.
or
3.- A more complex combination of validations.....
