Some questions on roles and permissions:
1) I want the same *authenticated user* to have different permissions at different parts of my server. Are local roles the best way to handle this?
2) How can I get hold of the local user roles?
<dtml-var expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> only returns the global role
associated with the authenticated user.
3) Is there a way to retreive the permissions that the authenticated user has on a given object?
4) I have observed that when a user has been authenticated at a deeper level in the folder hierarchy, then <dtml-var expr="AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"> on a higher level yields 'Anonymous User'. Bug or normal behaviour?
I'm building my first real Zope application, so please bear with me...
