Is there a way to define a group in Zope? For instance, could I have user1, user2 and user3 as part of a group, say "testers", and the group "testers" can access to certain folders (or something of that sort) in Zope. I want users within a group to be able do updates on folders that group they belong to has been assigned to.

Mixo Shiburi I have had a look at "roles", and what they seem to do is define permissions and not groups of people.

You could use LoginManager. For example you create a role called "testers" and in a SQL database you say which user can have the role "testers". Then, I think, member might be considered as a group .... -- Hervé coatanhay

This was something I used: What I have done is create roles in the the root (root here means the start folder you want to have in the directory tree)folder. For each of the subdirectories for the users define the permissions for a particular role. Example: I have a folder for group 1 named group_1. The group_1 folder is a child folder in /Groups. create user with role group_1_role in the acl_users in the /Groups parent directory, do not set permissions. In the /Groups/group_1 directory define the permissions for role group_1_role. This way only those useres in group 1 who have been assigned the role group_1_role will have access to the folder group_1 (apart from the manager). The idea here is that you might be able to add permissions to add and manage zclasses. If this doesn't work at least you will a way of restricting the access to the different folders among your users. I also deleted the acl_user folder in the groups folders. This way, they will not be able to add/manage users or change their user details.
