<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hallo Nick,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>
If I understand the LDAP philosophy used in Opencms correctly, is is
assumed that only users with Root Administrator role have full access to all
projects. Thus including the online project.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial>When scanning the Opencms source, the online
project is inhibited for the Organizational Units (OU) (see <FONT
color=#3f7f5f>CmsDriverManager.java</FONT><FONT color=#000000>). It might
be possible to change the role for each user. I did not try
this.</FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>However, all offline projects should be selectable,
which is not the case. I think this is a bug. So, you have the honor to
bugzilla this error.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>regards Ed</FONT></DIV>

project visibility in Workplace /setting up OUs</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Short
question:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I set up a
new user in an Organizational Unit (OU) in OpenCms 7.0.5 (each OU
corresponding to a different Site on my single OpenCms server instance), my
users do NOT see the "online" project listed in the Project DDLB in the
Workplace. The only option they see is "Offline". (But, my Admin
user does see both Online and Offline, even if I switch from one Site to
another.)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

explanation</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm an experienced
OpenCms user, but my current project marks the first time I am setting up
multiple Organizational Units for multiple websites hosted on the same
server. I have done everything correctly (I think) according to the
instructions found in the Wiki plus various online help
sites.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>o Two OUs (call
them A and B)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>o Users and Groups
set up in each OU (let's call the users "a_user" and
"b_user"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>o "a_user" is a
User and a Project Manager within OU "A"</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>o
etc.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>...but, when I log
on as a_user in the Workplace, the only project listed in the Projects DDLB is
"Offline". (Presumably, this is the Offline Project that was
automatically set up when I created OU "A"). I don't have an "online"
project; thus I can't view the actual published copy of Site "A" without going
into the History for each file. Obviously, this isn't going to make my
customers happy. The same thing happens when I log in as "b_user".
But if I login as the Admin, there are no problems - I see both "online" and
"offline") Even if I set "a_user" up with full admin rights within
his OU, I still see only one project in the DDLB.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial

<DIV><SPAN class=545321401-27112008><FONT face=Arial size=2>Everything else
seems to work fine for my two OUs. The project visibility problem is my
last major hurdle. </FONT></SPAN><FONT face=Arial><FONT size=2>T<SPAN

doing something silly wrong, but I cannot figure out what it is. Much
