[opencms-dev] User Role for Newsletter Module

[Konstantin Ott]

Hi Bobi,

The effect was, that some directories in the vfs didn't show the context 
menu anymore. When trying to open the context menu with the right mouse 
button nothing happened and in the log-file appeared:
ERROR [lorerTypeAccess: 235] Error reading groups of user Admin
...
Caused by: org.opencms.file.CmsDataAccessException: Unable to read 
resource "/system/orgunits/nl_Newsletter".

the resource /system/orgunits/nl_Newsletter
is the old place of the newsletter unit
So actually it might be working, if we copy or simblink the unit, but 
this gets somehow esoteric.

so long
