Hello nick, I too am interested in knowing the right answer to your question. From my past experience, I fear that Slide does not recognize the 'Group of Users Principal type'.
Nevertheless ACL specification clearly states a distinction between Group of Users (exactly as you clearly defined) and Users, but I did not find a reference about 'Roles type of Principal'. So, it's kind of funny, but slide does not support Group of Users but supports Roles, and the spec identifies Group of Users but nothing about Roles :) Anyway, from a point of view you can always think about Roles as a Group of Users, with the little difference that Roles can not contain other Roles: just Users. Best regards, Miguel Figueiredo ______ Hi I realize this has been posted and hashed out before, but my reading of the posts wasn't clarifying. Can anyone tell me the definition of these terms in the context of DAV and Slide ? My take is that a Group is a principal and is itself simply a collection of principals (users, or other groups), where the membership in the group is set via the GROUP-MEMBER-SET property. And, the Group has no concept of privileges or rights. Its just a bag, a collection. So, I'd create a group under the /users branch of the tree. ie, /slide/users/salesforce/eastregion A Role would be set of defined rights on the repository and any elements in that role would have those rights. True ?
