I'm also looking for something similar. We have a pretty complex security requirement. What I need to be able to do is programmatically, as a manager, starting from the root, traverse down all of the nodes and list all users, roles, proxy roles, etc. by context. We have a situation where we have two separate groups of users (A & B) with a number of sub-groups in each. The sub-groups from A need to interact with different sub-groups from B at different times. There's never any overlap. Also, members in the A or B pool move between the sub-groups within A & B. I.e., teams interacting with teams, where the individuals are assigned to different teams at different times , and for security reasons one pair of teams should not know what another team pair is doing. This is well beyond what I currently know in Zope, but perhaps I may learn something I can use later. Thanks very much.

It needs to include acquired permissions as well. I've looked around for some api calls to get me this info. The closest thing I've found is context.permissionsOfRole(myRole). Unfortunately that only lists permissions defined for that role on that context, not the acquired ones as well. Am I going to have to traverse the tree and figure out acquired permissions myself? or is there an easier way? - Rocky -- __________________________________________________________________________ Rocky Burt Development, Director Bricsnet FM Americas - office: +1 (603) 559-2527 53 Green St - mobile: +1 (603) 512-9832 Portsmouth - fax: +1 (603) 436-5760 NH 03801 USA - email: rocky.burt@bricsnet.com __________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
