[opencms-dev] problem with permissions

[Christoph Kukulies]

I'm having a little bit of a trouble with permissions of an OpenCMS 
driven Internet site.

As long as I was maintaining it (me as Admin with all rights) tere was 
no problem. Now when I want to allow
our secretary mate to do e.g. database exports fomr the Intranet site 
and import them to the Internet site (yes, we have this
bit clumsy configuration, but it has advantages security wise) I'm 
running into trouble.

First off:

should I grant roles or would I better assign the user to groups?
She should be able to import a database and publish the import.

I have three sites. I gave her the role database manager and when 
logging in the first time she couldn't see at all one of the three sites.
Then to overcome the problems quickly, I added her to the Adminstrator 
group.

I'm seeing as a consequence that she has now the "root administaror 
role" as well.

How can I straighten up this? Also, what permissions would I best give 
my sites from the root down?
