[opencms-dev] Create group

[Mark Belanger]

I know this is an old thread, but we're having a similar problem and 
perhaps we're missing some subtlety about how users and groups work 
within OpenCMS 5.0

We too need add a user who only gets access to a single subfolder.  They 
can't have User access, because then they could edit the entire site. 
I've tried to create a new group, in indentical configuration as a User, 
where it's parent is Guest.  I'm able to create a new user and assign 
him to the new group.  However, when they login, the systems produces 
the following error:

  Com.opencms.core.CmsException: 10 Unknown User.
   Detailed error: [OpenCms login failed].

Based on Thomas' response, it sounds like they have to be part one of 
the primary three groups.  If that's the case, what's the point of 
groups at all?

What am I missing?  Is there another way to accomplish what I'm trying 
to do?


Thanks,
