[Zope-CMF] Setting another permission for adding a specific object to portal

[Troy Farrell]

Gitte,
I had a similar problem.  You'll find, if you look a the local roles in 
each cmf/Members/username folder, that a member has the local role of 
'Owner' in their folder.  You need to ensure that 'Owners' don't have 
the permission to add these objects.  Secondly, you should be using 
DCWorkflow.  With DCWorkflow, you can set permissions on each piece of 
content in each state.  It's really powerful, but a bit confusing in the 
beginning.  BTW, changing and existing site to DCWorkflow will loose all 
existing workflow info on content.  I think there's a way to keep it, 
but I'm lazy and don't have it in front of me.

Browse cmf.zope.org and the mailing list archives.
