Forum OpenACS Q&A: Newbie permissions problem

Collapse
Posted by Niall Gilsenan on
I was hoping that someone could help me out with some problems I'm
having with the ACS.  I'm very new to the whole system as well as
being pretty much a linux newbie.

The problems I'm having can be summarised as follows :

All of the users on the system currently seem to be able to access
nearly every component of the system and make changes I don't want
them to make.

For instance I added a new project and added some employees. Despite
the fact that the employees were all just basic members of the
project (not team leaders or admins) they could remove other members
of the project and more importantly allocate payments to the
project.  I only want poroject leaders to have access to payments.

I realise this is probably a lack of understanding on my part as to
how the system is supposed to work but I'd appreciate any help.

I've been trying to figure out permissions and so far I haven't had
any success as I imagine they would be the answer to my problem.

Any help would be appreciated.
