Hi Chandrakantha In the acl_users I created User " Author " and their global passswd and gave them Owner and Manager Roles. I want them to be able to create folders and edit the contents - but for now it's only a pilot site So I will re-do the what and what they cannot do once the requirements have been set. (Nothing for Now) but I want to know beforehand (digest and understand) where and how I set these is the doc's on the settings. So when I'm brief I can exstablish the requirments .

Yes - it's working fine except a bit concerned about insufficient_privilleges .

I as the external author was able to make amendments and view as a Manager and Owner - but is there a properties to double check the External authors privilleges .

Please elaborate what External authors should be able to do and what is not happning now. I assume 'External authors' is a role in your case.

Hi Chandrakantha Nagaraja

Just to say thanks It worked as you said with the simpliar solution.

Created a Group for external authors to contribute once I get the pilot up and running as I only got a few bits and pieces ie.Company Logo and Front page blurb.
