I wish to restrict the creation of a class (SpokeSite) to people with =
the "Add Spoke Site" permission, and in turn only provide that =
permission to people in the 'Super-manager' Role.
When I call ProductContext.registerClass for my SpokeSite class, I can =
pass the permission argument with the tuple ('Add Spoke Site', =
'Super-manager'), which does a good job of limiting the availability of =
my class (just as I desire).
However, I would like my Product to automatically create the =
'Super-manager' Role, if it doesn't exists. The bad part is that this =
role needs to be added before any of my objects exist, which makes it =
hard...
I've got it *working* by cheating, and using the private __app attribute =
of the ProductContext. Is there a better way for python Products to =
alter the Zope installation (add Roles, create Folders, etc.) during =
installation?
Thanks!
