Hi all, I am trying to follow the quick tutorial and immediately run into things I do not understand. I am trying to create a folder as explained in the docs. I get the error: Error Type: SuperCannotOwn Error Value: Objects cannot be owned by the superuser This is the example in which "Stan" needs to create a folder. Can anyone tell me what goes wrong and how to get it right? Cheers. J.J.

This is related to the tutorial not being up to date with the current zope version, but is simply remedied. Go to the management interface and add a zope user in the acl_users folder. Give it Management rights. Shut you browser, reopen it and authenticate as the user you just entered. Get on with the tutorial... hth Rik
I suppose you've just installed Zope and you're logged in as "Superuser" And that's the problem. The superuser cannot own folder, files etc. Add a "User Folder" and add a new User in that folder. Then you have to restart Zope and log in as the new user. Now the new user can add as much folder as you want. Hope this helps Marc

...and I'd still like to know why ;-) Well I for one have accidently removed view privilliges for administrators in a folder, at that time I was very happy to be able to log in as super and restore those proviliges, or else I would have had to remove the directory and start fresh. Perhaps it is also to avoid trojan horses being executed by super. Max M. W. Rasmussen, Denmark.

And you can still do that. You just can't _create_ new items as 'bootstrap user'.

Hi J.J., this problem is a result of the restrictions applied by zope. Nothing is wrong with that. It is just that it's not explained thouroughly or most people new to zope tend to overread that in the manual ;-) Here's what You do: 1. Login as the Superuser (the primary account provided after installing zope) and create a new user in path_to_zope/acl_users '(e.g. Koos). Provide Password when asked in the form and apply the role 'manager' to that user. 2. logout as superuser (e.g. close all browsers...) 3. login as the user you have just created 4. go on with the tutorial... This should help you to get going with zope. Besides that, working with zope is worth every minute of it :-) p@
