should mention that I have recently picked up a copy of "Building Websites with
OpenCMS" by Matt Butcher(Packt Publishing) and it is a worthwhile book.
(It doesn't cover version 6.x.x. though). I haven't read all chapters yet,
but I hope to come across something that will do a better job of addressing
permissions, etc.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=950351616-27092004>The
instructions and documentation are pretty sparse.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=950351616-27092004>This
looks like one of the open source projects where the cost of ownership is
higher than a commercial product simply because of the time it is going to
take to get it going. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=950351616-27092004>It
took a long time for me to get the installation right and now I get an error
10 unknown user when I try to use the admin menu to change the Amin

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=950351616-27092004>I am
going to give it a bit more effort but I am not very optimistic from what I
have seen so far. I like the code but the documentation is a problem. I am
probably making it harder by starting with a 6.0 alpha.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>I'm also new to OpenCMS(ver 5.x.x), and I have run into this
problem as well. I cannot provide good explanation as to how to
correct this, but I would suggest that you take a look at "Change Owners",
"Change Groups", and "Change Permissions". By manipulating these
values, you can usually correct access-errors. You'll probably need to
be logged-in as "admin" to do this. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I don't think these access-errors point to bugs in OpenCMS,
but rather they point to a lack of understanding of how a site should be
setup. What I mean is, who(adminstrator, projectmanager, etc) should
create folders, templates, jsp's, etc, such that permissions to those
objects are properly assigned. If this is understood and the site
setup properly, then users(i.e. content-editors, etc) won't get errors when
trying to work with their tasks. I have read some documentation on the
basics of permissions, but nothing yet that answers the question "How do I
use this to build my site?", or "What are some strategies to use when
building my site?". And so I am "stumbling" alot too.
