1 Go to your root folder and click on security in it. You probably have anonymous view set there. 2 In that same location at the very bottom of the screen there is a place to type in the name of a new role. It is called User defined roles type the name of one in and click add. You can then modify that role. 3. It is a good idea to make an editor role and give them the permissions they will need. Log onto irc.openprojects.net #zope there is usually someone around who can help with problems like this.

Hi all,

I'm learning about the Zope security system, and have a couple of questions that I coulnd't find an answer for: * Even though in my acl_users folder in Root the Anonymous sole has no permissions enabled, I can access as anonymous to any page, why's this? * The Zope Book says that in the security tab there is a text entry that allows adding user defined roles. I don't see that entry, I only get the permissions/roles table. I'm logged in as admin all the time. How can I define a new role? * I will have editors on my site, who should be able to edit/add content, but not to change scripts, or other things. Is it a good idea to define an "editor" role for them and then adjust the pemissions accordingly? Sorry for the number of questions, and I'd appreciate any pointer to info or solutions about them.

TIA, Arkaitz.
