[Zope] Groups and Roles

[David Orr]

Hi Jens,

Thanks for the quick reply (and the great product!).  I was looking more at
the GroupUserFolder concept (by ingeniweb) but you are correct in that I was
getting confused with "groups" in LDAP as well.

For an example:  I want to creat a group (GrpA) that can access a particular
directory (DirA).  So do I set up GrpA with the role of member in DirA and
then set up individual(s) (or another group) to act as reviewer, OR can I
set up roles within GrpA (member, reviewer, manager etc) that then apply in
DirA?

David

if you are referring to the fact that the term "group" is used in 
conjunction with the LDAPUserFolder then it is only because records 
that contain references to other records are usually named something 
with "group". the LDAP concept of groups has nothing to do with group 
concepts in other user folders.
