Hi all,
I  am evaluating openCMS as a content management tool for a project. I have
a couple of questions in this regard -

1. Does opencms provide any in-built framework to enforce authorization for
published pages for users of the site.
    Eg: A simple case will be to - implement a subscription based site
Also can opencms enforce some security around static-content ? I read in
documentation that this(static content) has to be handled by the
web-server..

2. What does 'workflow' in opencms accomplish inshort -  Is there a way to
'submit' for approval after content is created ?
I see that by setting the role-based permissions someone can be prevented
from publishing. I am trying to find out if it can do more.

3. Is there a process to recall a published content. (unpublishing)

thanks folks,
Naveen
