Forum OpenACS Q&A: Restrict subsite members from Main Site?

I have a subsite called Students and I'd like to prevent Student Members from accessing Main Site content. This doesn't seem possible to me, as I understand that all members of the site belong to Main Site Members. Is this correct? Can I use compositional relationships to achieve this?

Or, if this is not possible, should I move my Main Site content to its own Subsite called NewMain, setup permissions according to groups, and put skeleton content on the actual Main Site?

Thanks.

Yeah if you want to restrict some data it should be in a seperate subsite. Since the login pages are in the Main Subsite noone can login if you restrict permission under the main subsite.

Along the same lines, what is the difference between Subsite Members and Registered Users? Are not these groups identical since all Registered Users are members of Main Site?

Sorry: By Subsite Members I mean Main Subsite Members.
