Right, but then that becomes one role per folder. Hmmm... I think my problem is that the structure of the site is a bunch of folders representing projects, generally people restricted to those projects, plus some select few who also have permissions on a different part of the tree. But you're right, I do effectively want to establish per-project groups, and a role is as good a way as any, just slightly unwieldy for 100 projects, not in principle of course, just on the page... Anyway, will give it a whirl and see how far I get.

I'd like to allow a user folder-specific access to multiple folders in the hierarchy. This means of course that I want one user ACL entry at some high level above the two folders, then the ability to reference that user from a permissions form in both folders. Is this sort of thing being worked on as part of the Portal development?

Thanks folks Alex

Just give the user a role, say 'Member', then give that role access to the folder. You could also use local roles. Give only certain users the local role Member on certain objects, for instance, the folders you mentioned. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope (For developer-specific issues, use the companion list, zope-dev@zope.org - http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ########################################## This email, its content and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may be legally privileged and/or confidential.
