The installer for a 'Plone Site' replaces the root acl_users with a PAS: I've argued that this is poor practice (inexcusably rude, actually), but they seem determined to continue it. > Now I can only add users from the ZODB User Manager under /acl_users/users, > there is nowhere to add a user from an Add buttion as in the older version of > Zope. Correct. In PAS, there are actually potentially muttiple user sources (e.g,, SQL, LDAP, NTLM, etc.). Adding them to the 'ZODB users' plugin is the "cognate" of the od "Add" button. > I can add roles from ZODB Role Manager in /acl_users/roles but these roles > don't show up under the Security tab on any page.

The roles in the PAS plugin are used to control "global" grants to the users; the roles you set on a folder (even the root), are about "local" grants. > I have searched and can find little to no documentation on use or difference > in the two authentication methods.

In general, I would avoid defining any new "global" roles in PAS, or even granting the existing ones as "global" roles. Rather, I advise treating *all* grants as "local", even if that means setting them on the root object. > Is this normal behavior and if so how can I synchronize roles between the > Security tab and /acl_users/roles or is it not possible? I would just avoid the role plugin altogether. > Am still searching the WEB and archives in the meantime. The better list for this would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] (CC'ed), which deals with PAS specifics.
