Well, for your use you could just hardcode some permission "groups" and include them in the dtml-file which resembles zopes security screen. A little bit javascript and selecting one of your groups would automagically be checked when you check one of your groups. What I'm missig more is flexibility for the "Add object" mechanism. The possibility to install products not globally, but locally for a folder and it's subfolders and some hierachical sorting of "add type" selectbox. Perhaps the tree could be (ab-)used to get a structure like + text product - DTML Document - DTML Method + Images, Files - Image - File + SQL Stuff - ZSQL Method - PoPy Database Connection - Search Interface etc.... To get back to the topic, perhaps your wishes and mine could be combined: A permissions group for "edit text products" which would automatically select the right permissions. cheers, oliver _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
