looks like one of the open source projects where the cost of ownership is higher

it going. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

going to give it a bit more effort but I am not very optimistic from what I have

<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. </FONT></P>
