[opencms-dev] Setting user permissions

[Paul-Inge Flakstad]

Hi,

What's the easiest way to disable write/publish for a user, unless explicit permission is given, on a per-resource basis?

This is my case:
A specific user should be able to login and browse the Offline project, but should not be able to edit or publish anything, unless explicitly given this extra permission, on a file/folder.

In earlier versions, I would create a user with only the "Workplace user" role, in the "Users" group. Then I'd set "Allows" on the resource (s)he should have access to.

Now on a later version (9.5.2), this approach doesn't seem to work anymore. I have tried and tried, but cannot figure out how to get this done. Is there a critical problem with the whole account/group/role management in this version? (The Admin view controls are quite buggy... :/)

PS: I'm not using Direct Edit, if that matters.

Thanks,
Paul
