[opencms-dev] Permissions containerpage and it's elements

[Arash Kaffamanesh]

Hi Marc,

we have a similar environment, where each "department" has his own .content
folder and .config sitemap definition and we are using LDAP groups which
are mapped to local opencms groups to manage the permissions.

Schönen Gruß,
Arash
