Far as I can tell, local roles is the way to go, although I would use
reviewer, and maybe owner, to do the job.  I'm new to the CMF as well, so
YMMV with my answer.  

You can also play with the security tab on your folder to ensure
reviewer/owner can add portal content, and deselect 'aquire from parent'.

Subject: [Zope-CMF] question: CMF and collaborative authoring



Hello.

I am currently spending some time understanding the CMF and have a
question.

I would like to know what is the best approach to tailor or to modify
the CMF to easily allow for collaborative authoring.  It is not clear
to me how to allow a subset of a CMF portal's members to jointly
author some common content that is not stored in a member's home
folder.

The simplest solution that I can imagine is to grant these member's
"Manager" level access (using Zope's local role mechanism) on a
particular CMF content object or folder.  I'm just wondering if
there is a better approach (which I'm sure there is) without too
much modification to the out-of-the-box CMF and not requiring the
"Manager" role.

In some respect, it would be nice to have a usage-style like a CMFWiki
that applies to other CMF content objects and content folders.

regards,

- joe n.
