Hi,

I need to have one anonymously accessible form in the middle of a restricted
area of a site.

This form needs to use lots of stuff that isn't usually available anonymously.
Fine thinks me, I'll give the anonymous form (a DTML method) a proxy role of
manager.
This doesn't help much, in goes ZDebug (thankyou, yet again Shane ;-)

Anyway, it appears that proxy roles are 'carried on'. So, I give my method a
proxy role, it calls another method which in turn calls another. That third
method gets caleld with Anonymous permissions again. 

What gives? Is this how its intended? It's not very helpful and means I haev to
give loads of extar mthods the proxy roles unneccessarily :-S

cheers,

Chris
