[opencms-dev] Site group security setup

[Nick DeSteffen]

Hi,
I'm having trouble setting up security in OpenCms.  

Under my OpenCms install I created 3 sites, I then created 3 editor groups 
(one for each site).  I want a user that is in each group to be able to 
edit the corresponding site.  Some users may be in multiple sites.

Person Joe can edit sites A, B, and C.
Person Mary can only edit site A.

I have found that the parent group of each of the 3 groups I created must 
be either Users, or Project Managers and these groups can see all 3 sites 
by default and I cannot change this.  I have found that the only way to 
hide the sites is to explicitly deny access to them.  So if I make it so 
that group A cannot see sites B & C Mary can only see site A, and this is 
what I want, however since person Joe is also in group A he cannot see 
sites B & C.

Can anybody help me out here?  I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
Nick
