Hi
I'm trying to get my head round the user authentication possibilities in
Zope, and maybe I'm looking in the wrong place, but here's what I'm
trying to achieve:
An intranet where users can view general information while
unauthenticated, but where there is also a section which will deliver
pages only accessible by the user themselves, after they pass through a
login process. Now, I've looked through the Zope user authentication
process, and maybe that's what I'm after, but in reading the users &
security section of the manual it seems more related to their edit
rights than their view rights. I just want to lock down personalised
view access to selected material. Effectively, after passing through the
login process, I want the intranet to display read-only information
based around their userID, and for that information to be inaccessible
to anyone else. Is this what the Zope security is for, or should I look
at using other methods?
Stunning product though :-)
Thanks for any help
Andy
