[opencms-dev] group Users not available under 7.0.5

[Tobias Herrmann]

Dear Christoph P. Kukulies,

first you should check the permissions set for your site folder. For 
editing content 'Read', 'View' and 'Write' should be allowed and 
inherited on sub-folders for at least one of the groups these specific 
users are member of.

If a group in the user overview is greyed out, your user is an indirect 
member, meaning he is in a group which is in a sub-group of the grey 
one. In your case the Projectmanagers group is a sub-group of the Users 
group.

Regards, Tobias
