[opencms-dev] OpenCms 7.5.x: set permissions for role

[Achim Westermann]

Hi Kai,

I guess this is a misunderstanding. AFAIK:

- Roles are for controlling access to workplace tools / operations that 
may be triggered on OpenCms. This would explain why you can choose roles 
below /system/ (where the workplace tools reside).

Groups are the "logic counterpart" when it comes to controlling access 
on content. Perhaps you can do what you want by using groups?

HTH,

Achim
