I am writing an external application and I need to modify owner and permissions of zope files from that app. I thought about using HTTP object publishing or XML-RPC, so I checked documentation at http://www.plope.com/Books/2_7Edition/AppendixB.stx#2-45 but I can't find any method to deal with owner/permissions. Is there really no way to do this or am I just missing something?
You know that you can change ownership (be aware that there are two completely different types of ownership!) and permissions via the ZMI. Looking at respective the ZMI source will tell you which methods are used (this is a general approach for anything that can be done in the ZMI). In your special case, you can look at the methods defined in "AccessControl/Owned.py" (executable ownership control), "AccessControl/Role.py" (local role control, among others the local role "Owner"; and role permission mapping). -- Dieter
