[opencms-dev] User Role for Newsletter Module

[Konstantin Ott]

hello again,
my workaround wont work. There are side effects we didnt wont.
So we still stay with the problem:

1. create a subunit A
2. in the subunit A we create a newsletter Unit
3. the newsletter Unit is not beneath the subunit A, but beneath the 
root organizational unit.

Any tips to create the newsletter unit as subunit of A?
