You are aware that there is a Plone mailing list? And that Plone handles many things in special ways different from "stock", plain Zope (e.g. having Groups of users)?

Using my superuser account I've navigated to the site root page in the ZMI where it lists all the site pages and objects etc. I've then gone into security, scrolled down to the bottom and for the 'View' option I have tried all combinations of 'Manager', 'Authenticated' and 'Aquire'. It simply won't work.

plone.org had fine tutorials and howtos for setting up closed plone sites last time I looked.
