Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: Strange permission behavior of forum package

Collapse
Posted by robert parker on
This still seems to be a problem in "Forums 1.1.2d4" on "OACS 5.1.5"

I think I eventually worked round it by granting "write" permission to all "Registered Users" at the level of the forums package mount. Granting forum_write didn't help!

Does anyone have any comments on whether I've done the right thing (security-wise)?

I found it bewildering to have a page like "/permissions/one?object%5fid=NNN" showing a different set of permissions and grants from that shown on "/forums/admin/permissions?object%5fid=NNN". Can someone please explain what's going on ?

b.t.w. what's the difference between "Registered Users" and "Main Site Members" ?

yours, confused
