[ZDP] BackTalk to Document Zope Developer's Guide (2.4 edition)/Appendix A - Zope Core Permissions

[webmaster@zope.org]

A comment to the paragraph below was recently added via http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZDG/current/AppendixA.stx#1-0

---------------

  This is a list of standard permissions included with Zope. It is a
  good idea to use these permissions when applicable with your Zope
  products, rather than creating new ones.

     The Copy or Move permission was added as of 2.6. If you revoke the Copy and Move permission from a role
     respective to an object, even if a user has "View management screen" permissions, he or she will not be able
     to copy or move the object.

     I don't mean to bitch, but the following list is absolutely unnecessary. Every permission seems to be defined
     by quoting the permission and adding 'object' or the like. To me, this list contains no information.
     Couldn't you put longer descriptions and examples for each right?

     I'd rather just remove the chapter if it becomes more than this. Right now I can't maintain it. If someone
     else wanted to do this and keep it up to date, I'd be fine with it. -- chrism

     Sorry, Anon, "the following list" is absolutely NECESSARY. Yes, the descriptions are a little skimpy, but the
     whole reason I found this page was that I needed to see the ENTIRE list of permissions without being filtered
     by type. (i.e. if I go to the Zope management interface, I see only the permissions that apply to the type of
     object that I've selected.)
     Perhaps the page could be automatically generated from the Python source? I'd like to see a table-oriented
     display: name of permission, object types it applies to, 1-sentence description, and "warnings / gotchas /
     special notes."
