I must be missing a key thing.  I've created a normal folder for the 
purposes of testing GUF.  Inside this folder I have a GUF called 
acl_users.  I open the acl_users folder.  I click on the User List tab and 
I get a message telling me that "there are no users defined".  If I edit 
the userList DTMLMethod, I see that this method has two names, fred and 
jorge.   If I edit userRoles, I see that if the userid is "jorge" the role 
"specialrole" is answered, otherwise defaultrole is answered.  I added 
"specialrole" as one of my roles and gave this role the ability to view 
contents.  Still nothing.

I have a feeling there is some key concept or item that I'm not configuring 
properly but I have yet to figure out what it is.  Can anyone provide any 
clues as to what I'm missing?

Thanks.
