[Zope] Roles, Local Roles, and so on

[Oliver Andrich]

Hi,

I have a question concerning the Role and Local Role system. Well, am I right
with the observation, that Local Roles are only locally assigned global roles?
For example I have an user "oandrich" which is globally just a member of Role
"user" but in /test/users/andrich for example I can assign him a "Manager"
role?

Isn't it possible to get really local roles? What I like to have are roles
that needn't be defined in a global context and which are only available below
a certain directory and are local to this part of the directory tree.

Some background why I need this. I am developing a problem tracking system,
that is used in my company, but we also of companies that are subproviders of
us. I like to do the following.

In

    /rz-online

I install the tracking system for us.

In

    /ewr-online

I install the tracking system for one subprovider.

Well, when I have to define global roles I see the roles the ewr-online admin
defines in my possible list of Roles. And he sees mine. Ok, for me this is no
problem, but the ewr-online people are a little bit nuts and so this will
certainly confuse them.

Ok, I can do something like adding global roles named like this

    JTS_<id of the folder>_<desired name>

This is easy and fine to do in Zope, but it is ugly. So, is it possible to get
really local roles?

Bye, Oliver
