[opencms-dev] User Role for Newsletter Module

[Bozidar Ilievski]

Hi Konstantin.

We had the same problem when creating a Newsletter OU.
Wherever we created the Unit, it was always a direct child of the "root 
organization unit".
We did the same workaround that you described here (after creation of 
the Newsletter unit, we just moved the folder under /system/orgunits/ to 
the right location).
It works fine so far.

What side effects have you encountered?

Regards,
Bobi.
