newbie user authentication question
Hi I'm trying to get my head round the user authentication possibilities in Zope, and maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but here's what I'm trying to achieve: An intranet where users can view general information while unauthenticated, but where there is also a section which will deliver pages only accessible by the user themselves, after they pass through a login process. Now, I've looked through the Zope user authentication process, and maybe that's what I'm after, but in reading the users & security section of the manual it seems more related to their edit rights than their view rights. I just want to lock down personalised view access to selected material. Effectively, after passing through the login process, I want the intranet to display read-only information based around their userID, and for that information to be inaccessible to anyone else. Is this what the Zope security is for, or should I look at using other methods? Stunning product though :-) Thanks for any help Andy

Read the security section of the Zope book. Zope's internal security is very flexible and can easily handle this... cheers, Chris
