Give your factory method a 'proxy role' of manager. This way, someone with non-manager privledges can do things like add instances only if they call your method the way you want them to. -Michel

Hi everyone,

I've got a certain role assigned to people who I want to be able to create an instance of a ZClass. I don't want them to have access to the management screen however. I'm having trouble figuring out what combination of permissions will do it. Does anyone have a suggestion? Currently I have a link that points to the 'NewsArticle_factory' for creating instances of my News ZClass. I'm not even sure if that's the proper way to do it. I do know that everything works perfectly if you have the Manager role.

-Tim
