Permissions on a role are inherited by the members of that role, yes. One thing to check is that your user isn't being denied write access but another ACL that's higher in the list. ACLs are checked in order and the first one that applies takes precedence. If user1 is in a role that has been denied the ability to write, and that ACE appears in the ACL before the permission that grants write access, user1 will not have write access.

Hi Folks, I am re-posting this mail since I haven't got any replies yet. I am hoping there is some developer there who might have tried to play around with permissions in Slide2.1M1. My problem is that when I assign some permissions to a role, those permissions are not propogated to the users in that role. If not for permissions what else is the purpose of having roles at all? I am sure it is not just for logical grouping of users. Any help is appreciated ......
thanks in advance ....
regards,
Krishna

Subject: User Authorization based on permissions set to role in
Slide2.1
Michael, I was searching the mail archive for some help on permissions and came upon this discussion you were having with some developer which seemed relevant to my question: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg05056.html Does slide permissions propogate based on role memberships. I mean, if I create a role called "role1", and add a user called "user1" to it, will user1 get all the permissions that are assigned to role1. I've seen in my tests that although I gave enough "write" permissions to "role1", Slide does not allow "user1" to write unless I add the "write" permission to "user1" itself. Am I missing something or is it a bug. What is your opinion on this? I am using Slide 2.1M1 and command line client to grant permissions to /Slide/files collection.
thanks
regards, Krishna
