I know I am posting quite a lot of questions to the list lately, sorry about that, it's just that I can save myself hours of trial-and-error coding when I get quick answers from list, so I hope you don't mind. It seems to be the fastest way to learn. I have a news page ZClass and a news article ZClass, both of which have several DTML methods. All methods apart from index_html should require a particular user role, "UAAdmin", to be held by the current user (thee mathods are all for editing anf manging the news page and articles). The index_html methods (which display the news article) should be available for anonymous access. I have been stuck with this for over a week now, I have tried all sort of combinations of permissions, defined permissions and user roles, but I can't figure it out and I can't find any examples in any of the Zope documentation about how to manage permissions for class methods. Does anyone know where I could find such documentation or examples if there are any? The whole thing's very confusing, but here's what I've worked out so far. Maybe someone could put me right and/or fill in the gaps? I think what I need to do is got the Define Permissions tab for each method, and for the View permission dropdown I should select View for the index_html method, and some other permission X for every other method. This other permission X should only be granted to the UAAdmin role. The question is, what is X to put in the dropdown, and how to assign it to UAAdmin. How would I go about creating a new permission, perhaps "Manage news pages", and how could I then assign that to UAAdmin? Would it then appear in the drop-down? Is this the right approach? How would I finish this off? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome. Thanks for your patience with newbies like me!!
