Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Need to automatically confer package write permission on subsite members

I don't follow you.

If I go to http://mysite.com/admin/site-map/ then I see something like this:-

Main Site:/my_subsite/
URL              Instance Name  Package Type
(-) my_subsite/  My Subsite     ACS Subsite   [ links 1 ]
  blah_1         Blah 1         Package A     [ links 2 ]
  blah_2         Blah 2         Package B     [ links 2 ]
  blah_3         Blah 3         Package C     [ links 2 ]

Where [ links 1 ] is [ add folder | parameters | permissions | rename | delete ] and [ links 2 ] is [ add folder | unmount | parameters | permissions | rename | delete ]

What I did was to choose permissions in [ links 1 ], i.e. at the ACS Subsite level. To my mind this will control permissions at the subsite level and not at the level of a package mounted under the subsite, such as blah x.

The packages mounted beneath the subsite node, be default, inherit perms from their parent: the subsite node. If you apply the direct "write" permission to the subsite for the subsite Members group then the Members group will have "write" on the mounted packages also (in your example, blah_1, blah_2, and blah_3).
