Chapter 13: Users and Their Permissions

So far, we have focused on building functionality. Although we have introduced new permissions where appropriate, we have not yet considered user and role management in detail. It is now time to define exactly who can do what, when.

We will begin this chapter by defining a membership policy for our application. We will also show how to attach additional metadata to a user and look at configuring an area of a Plone site to support collaboration. Finally, we will point to a few more advanced technologies that may be appropriate if the built-in infrastructure cannot meet your needs.
