Hi; I wrote the list earlier concerning this problem and didn't get an answer. That usually means it's a BIG problem and unique to my install and that nobody has any idea what to do without being on the system. I hope like heck it's not that bad. Here's the problem: For some reason I don't appear able to create user-defined roles at all! With regard to local roles, I'm able to create them, but they don't appear to have any effect. For example, if I create a local role for pnl as manager then change the *access content information* from the acquired setting to just manager and owner (as opposed to anonymous), then try to access the page, I discover that only user webmaster, the owner, is able to access the page. Nor can I change ownership! How should I begin trouble-shooting this? TIA, BenO

You could try installing ZDebug, which give loads of useful security information... seb
ZDebug is a very nice utility! Thanks for recommending it! However, it's not helping here. Zope generates no errors: I'm simply unable to create user-defined roles or local roles with *one* exception. For some reason my Zope allowed me to create a user-defined role named *b* (letter bee) but it *won't* let me create a user-defined role named *pnl*. Why?? Strange, huh? Any ideas on how to debug this? At 06:00 PM 7/23/2001 +0100, you wrote:

<stab - stab: Boy is it dark in here!> Try to create a Role named 'UseLess'. If that works, try 'PNL'.

Nope. I've tried several things and the only thing so far that works is *b* (why I don't know) and even if I change permissions to *b* I still have to log in as webmaster, so it's entirely useless. How can I trouble-shoot this? TIA, BenO

And really: you give not much details about your problem. How could you expect an answer?
.... For some reason I don't appear able to create user-defined roles at all! What happens?
Exception, Traceback? No exception but the role does not appear? Role appears but is ineffective? Dieter
