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

      Sometimes Zope's system of limiting access to executable objects
      isn't exactly what you want. Sometimes you may wish to clamp
      down security on an executable object despite its ownership as a
      form of extra security. Other times you may want to provide an
      executable object with extra access to allow an unprivileged
      viewer to perform protected actions. *Proxy roles* provide you
      with a way to tailor the roles of an executable object.

         what happens if a page template calls a python-script that is usually not accessible with the rights assigned
         to the template? for example, the script needs manager-permissions and the page-template only
         authenticated-permissions. usually I would try to give the template a proxy-role but... that's not possible..
         what can I do?
