Willie Seabrook	Wednesday 21 January 2004 6:52:09 pm Hi, For my members I have two groups: Group 1 Basic set of object creation permissions etc.... Group 2 Members of this group can create/read/edit a special object. The majority of users are only in Group 1, however, I need to add some of them to Group 2 to allow them to do extra stuff. How is this managed? From the web interface: Is it simply a case of adding new publish locations - there doesn't seem to be any other possible way to do it. Programatically: Is it simply a case of creating a new node assignment? Or do I add another entry to the groups array for the user? I am also unclear on role permission inheritance. Group 1 and Group 2 are on the same level in the directory tree (I have read about the sub groups bug) will members in both groups have permissions of both roles or does the most/least restrictive set of permissions. Regards, Willie
Willie Seabrook	Thursday 22 January 2004 4:43:59 am I found that programatically, for each group that you want to add the user to, you publish the user there (duh) by creating a node assignment and a ezcontentobject tree entry. However, you must be sure to only make one group the main node. So if group 1 folder node id is 777 and group 2 folder node id is 888 first add a node assignment and a contentobject tree entry with main_node =1 then for the second group do the same but with main_node =0 and the same for every other group that you wish to publish to. Regards, Willie
Tore Skobba	Thursday 22 January 2004 5:45:51 am hmmm I might understand you wrong here, but I had a somewhat similar problem I think. My solution was to have two user groups (User A and User B), then make roles for each (Role A and Role B). Then I assigned User A to Role A, while User B was assigned to Role A and Role B.
Björn X	Thursday 22 January 2004 8:00:22 am Yes willie you are right... you can do that because groups and users are just content objects like any other object SO they follow the rules for the objects one main node multiple others each node has a parent
