[Zope-CMF] Re: [Zope] Newbie Qu: user login in private folders

[Matthew]

Ausum,

Many thanks for this.  I have done as you suggested and it works.

Is there any documentation I can read for further information about this 
as the search engine for the cmf list doesn't appear to work at the moment.

In particular:

1. when new users log in for the first time, there is no email address, 
and Zope generates an error.  Is there a standard way around this, or 
should I create a method to get the email address?
2.  creating all the users at the top level CMF folder is fine, but then 
they can have access at a level higher than I want them too.  When I 
create a user folder at a lower level, the CMF management screen (and 
also log on) doesn't find them.  How can I do this?

Regards,

Matthew.

1. Create the folder for one of the clients, let's name it 'client1_folder',
from the CMF user interface (needs to be a portal folder).
2. Enter ZMI and go the 'security' tab of 'client1_folder'. Look for the row
'Access contents information' and uncheck the checkbox under 'Acquire
permission settings' and check it under 'Owner'. Accept changes.
3. Click on the 'Contents' tab and add a 'Cookie Crumbler' object. The id is
not important.
4. Back to the CMF interface (logged as manager) go 'client1_folder' and
click on 'Local Roles'. Search for user 'client1' (or whatever your user's
id is), then assing him/her the 'Owner' role.

That's all. As you'll see, you don't need to create a user folder at each
portal folder, just to set up its local roles. Moreover, all the steps
mentioned above can be summarized in an external method, so that you can
attach it to a member joining or to a batch process.
