[opencms-dev] Permission problem with ADE content structure

Hi all!

As far as I can see, introducing ADE created a big permission problem, 
which we didn't get solved by now satisfactorily.

Let's say we use resources of type "container" for editing content on pages.
So all Editors need to have write permission for folder 
"/.content/container/". Further there are two Editor Groups which have 
the right to edit different areas, e.g. two container-pages with a 
reference to the containers above:

/.content/container/ - Permissions: Editors Press (+r+w+v), Editors HR 
(+r+w+v)
     /c_00001.html
     /c_00002.html

/en/press/index.html - Permissions: Editors Press (+r+w+v)
     -> c_00001.html

/en/hr/index.html - Permissions: Editors HR (+r+w+v)
     -> c_00002.html

Finally, Editors Press won't be able to add or remove content in /en/hr/ 
and vice versa, but they will be able to edit content of c_00002.html 
(as they have +w on all containers).

I think the correct behaviour would be, that users must not be able to 
edit containers, which are included in container-pages they don't have 
the right to edit (or at least no until container is included in one 
container-page they have the right to edit)

Someone already solved this problem?

@Alkacon: You never stumbled across this problem?

Best regards,
Tobias
