[Zope] user permissions

Sounds stupido, but I logged on to zope today as the user and can see and do
all.  I really don't get it.  I tried over and over yesterday to get things
working to no avail.  Today, without having logged in previously I added
products.....Zcommerce and Session.  Restarted Zope.
I just recieved your mail so I decided to go through all the motions again
from yesterday to tell you exactly what I was doing.  I log in and it is
working fine.

Doh....
