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

[Schliemann, Kai]

Hi Achim,
thanks for your answer. 
This could indeed be the reason. 
AFAIK there doesn't exist a group counterpart for each role.
In my particular case I wanted to set permissions for the role "Administrator" (not Root Administrator). In this special case I learned that it doesn't matter which permission I set, an Administrator (the same as  a Root Administrator) sees and can do always everything regardless of the
permission settings.

Well, I am going to find an other solution for my problem.

Regards

Kai

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
