[Zope3-Users] Permissions to use IWriteZopeDublinCore

Hi, 

I am putting together a simple application based on Philipp Von
Weitershausen's book.

When an object is updated, I update the Dublin Core metadata in an event
handler. The code is similar to the following...

@adapter(IListing, IObjectModifiedEvent)
def updateListingDCTitle(listing, event):
    dc = IWriteZopeDublinCore(listing)
    dc.title=u'TEST UPDATE'

The ZCML declaration is...

<subscriber handler=".actor.updateListingDCTitle" />

I have configured a user who can edit the 'Listing'. When they try to
edit the listing, they get a permissions error caused by the event
handler.



If I assign permissions to the editor to modify the Dublin Core
metadata, they get access to the meta-data tab in the ZMI user
interface, which I would rather avoid. This grant works but I am looking
for a better way of doing this.

  <grant permission="zope.app.dublincore.change"
        role="directory.Editor" />



How should I go about letting the event handler update the Dublin Core
metadata?

I tried adding trusted="true" to the subscriber zcml declaration, but
this is ignored when a handler is used rather than a factory.


Thanks 

Kevin
