[opencms-dev] Configuring User Interface

If I decipher your question correctly, your setup seems similar to what
I have: once logged in the user is directed to the appropriate
sandbox/folder and set to work in a special offline project. The sandbox
contains an index.jsp which simply lists all relevant articles in the
sandbox. The user can click on the link to an article and when the page
is shown, he has access to the direct edit function and can go ahead and
edit it.
In my particular setup the user marks the article once he is finished
writing it, then an editor approves it and moves it to the appropriate
place on the site. So the writer does not have publishing rights. In
your case you'll have to give the user direct publish rights in order
for them to be able to publish.
