[Zope] newbie - permissions on FAQ object

I'm trying to configure a ZOPE FAQ object on starship.python.net .
This is Zope v10.10.2 with ZServer 1.0b2 .
I'm baffled by the permissions scheme. I've created a FAQ under my
ZOPE home:
http://starship.python.net:9673/crew/vanandel
I'd like selected users to add FAQ entries, but only certain trusted
users to be able to create categories.
Unfortunately, anyone can add a new category, which is not what I want.
The Security Screen for vanandel/NumPy only enables 'view' for
anonymous, but still an 'anonymous' user can enter the 'Add a category'
screen, without being challenged.
There are specific permissions shown for various "add-ins"
like TinyTables on the Security screen,
but not for the FAQ module. (I'd expect to see permissions for
FAQAddCategory.)
Also, when I first create a 'FAQ', I can't view it until I create
a 'isCategory' property. This seems like a bug, since 'isFAQ' is
already created for me.
A minor question. I'd obviously like to test ZOPE with various users,
to see what ZOPE allows them to do. ZOPE uses cookies to give someone
permission, after they've supplied a password.
Under Unix, I can manually remove a cookie by editing ~/.netscape/cookies. How do I do this under NT? Are Netscape cookies in the registry (I hope not!).
Thanks much for your help.
