from a python script obj = getattr(context, 'objIamLookingFor')

# manage_permission(listOfPermissions, ListOfWhomToGrant, FlagIfItShouldBeInherited) obj.manage_permission(['View'], 'Anonymous','Member'],1)

Thank you. That worked. However, I had to do this: obj.manage_permission('View', ['Anonymous','Member'],1) Cheers, Peter

both of the lists can also be a string (I believe)

When an object (sub class to my new product I'm working on) is created I in it, create a user folder and user in there with the role "TimeTable User".

Suppose that I create this container, click "Security" and makes the following settings: 1) View is NOT acquired 2) To get View you have to be either "Manager", "TimeTable User" or "TimeTable Manager" little ticked boxes across the View permission.

How can I do this with python??

I have tried this:

def __init__(self): bla bla # do stuff via python instead of the ZMI self.manage_permission('View',

roles=['Manager','TimeTable User','TimeTable Manager'], acquire=0)

This throws an error: Error Type: AttributeError Error Value: aq_acquire

Basically, how do I go into the ZMI, -> Security and tick boxes with python code?
