[Zope] User access to multiple folders

[Alex.Thomas@dresdnerkb.com]

Right, but then that becomes one role per folder. Hmmm... I think my problem
is that the structure of the site is a bunch of folders representing
projects, generally people restricted to those projects, plus some select
few who also have permissions on a different part of the tree. But you're
right, I do effectively want to establish per-project groups, and a role is
as good a way as any, just slightly unwieldy for 100 projects, not in
principle of course, just on the page...

Anyway, will give it a whirl and see how far I get. Thanks Martijn!

Just give the user a role, say 'Member', then give that role access to the 
folder.

You could also use local roles. Give only certain users the local role 
Member on certain objects, for instance, the folders you mentioned.
