(sorry if this is a duplicate, it didn't seem to go the first time...)
OK, first, a tip I learned earlier today (and couldn't find the answer
for):
Problem:
If you try to add a membership system to your root folder, and it has an
acl_users folder, you will not succeed in adding it, ecause it will
complain about mismatched passwords (or at least it did for me).
Solution:
Delete the acl_users fodler first.
Now, onto the current issue. I have some DTML that adds ZClass
instances. The Member user has the appropriate roles, yet is refused.
The forbidden page tells me I need Manager role. Now, why is this? In
particular, I am using the MeetingManagement product. It works fine in
2.1.6. I think it is related to the security changes in 2.2. Problem is,
even adding proxy roles for the methods in the chain changes nothing.
Here is the big kicker. If I sign up as an anonymous(!) user, it works
as it is supposed to. It only barfs when I am logged in as a
'Member'...Help?
Now, a suggestion for Kevin:
It would be nice if there was user management for the Membership
component's default setup. I am sure you're thinking about it, but
thought I'd let you know it is needed :) Specifically, there should be
some way that the site manager can modify theroles of the users, reset
passwords, and DELETE them as needed. Any ideas/work being done for
this?
Otherwise, the MembershipZ component is working flawlessly!
