<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi list,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">There's something I just discovered on OpenCms (these things happen everyday, which is great ;-). That thing surprises me and annoys me!</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">It seems if you click the nice "publish" button, that will publish resources for ** all sites your have permissions on **.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I don't understand then what's the point to have multiple sites if you won't publish only the site you are working on.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">If I'm not clear, let me give you a small scenario:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- I created sites A & B (added directory, added to opencms-system.xml, restarted)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- created groups G_A & G_B</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- each directory is only allowed for its group (permissions)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">=> so you need to be affected to group G_A to have rights on site A, same for B.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- if the user is in group A only, he selects site A, click publish => only site A is published (that's perfect)</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">- but if the user is in both groups, selects site A, click publish => resources from site A & B are published.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">That's not the behaviour I would like to have. I think whenever you choose a specific site, that should become the scope you work on. A click on publish should publish resources for that scope only, even though you have the rigths to work on other projects.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Am I missing a configuration parameter? Does it seem logical to you?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The goal is to have a list of "sites" with associated groups. Publisher work only on their sites. A publisher can be allowed on multiple sites but will work on one site at a time. I thought sites + groups was the perfect solution but I had this bad surprise. Am I choosing a wrong solution?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks!</FONT>
