Hi all,

This is a conceptual rather than technical question....

I intend to build an intranet with zope...though it's not as simple as =
that...I'd like 90% of the site to be password protected (giving access =
to members of my company)...do I use acl_users for this?

I'd also like parts of the site to be accessible (and maybe manageable =
albeit minimally) by clients....Do I have to create a second user/access =
model for this or can I use the acl_users to do this for me too.

I'm having problems=20
    a. Making the acl_user stuff work...I can either login as admin or =
not all.=20
    and b. Getting to grips with the concept of the user/privs/access =
model in acl_users

So the question is this...do I/can I use acl_users to manage all my =
authentication requirements, only allowing certain clients to view =
certain areas of the site...allowing company members to edit and view =
all of the site etc..if so then I'll slog on experimenting with the =
acl_users stuff...

thanks

tom
