I created a form in Zope with which the user can easily update the product list through a simple interface. I mainly used the content manager as guidance in this effort. I run into an simple problem however.

Following is the piece in the "builder" script that clones an existing folder

<dtml-with "manage_clone(MyFolderName,REQUEST['id'],REQUEST)"> <dtml-comment> <dtml-call "manage_changeProperties( title=REQUEST['title'], Code=REQUEST['Code'], Material=REQUEST['Material'],)"> </dtml-comment> <dtml-call "thumbnail.manage_upload(REQUEST['thumbnail'])"> </dtml-with>

<dtml-call "RESPONSE.redirect(DestinationURL()+'manage_main@update_menu=1')">

When I view the "designer" and submit my changes from the Designer form i get an authentication error. Zope says that i am not authorized to "manage_changeProperties". I've checked my id's in my designer form and they match the id's used in the builder script. I am also logged in as a user with manager and owner roles and have no problem to change properties of folders in Zope itself.

What could this be?

Help appreciated.

Roché Compaan Sorry, I eventually found my answer in the mailing lists:

If you don't want to log in to make the change, use a "Proxy Role" on the DTML Method. You can set the proxy role to "Manager", and then that particular method can do anything a Manager can do.

Thanks Kevin Roché Compaan
