I would like to point out that Boring is rather old (1999)
and uses a deprecated style for security declarations.*

Another nice place to start with product development is here:

*Old style security declaration: put everything in 
__ac_permissions__, usually at the beginning of the class:

 class Foo(SimpleItem.SimpleItem):
    __ac_permissions__ = (
       ('Edit Foos',  ('manage_editFoo',),
        'View Foos',  ('view',)
       )

    def view(self): 
        ...

    def manage_editFoo(self, data):
        ...

    
"New" style (already several years old) registers permissions
with AccessControl.ClassSecurityInfo which can be done 
throughout the class definition:


 import AccessControl 

 class Foo(SimpleItem.SimpleItem):

    security = AccessControl.ClassSecurityInfo()
     
    security.declareProtected('View Foos', 'view')
    def view(self):
       ...

    security.declareProtected('Manage Foos', 'manage_editFoo')
    def manage_editFoo(self, data):
        ...
