User Folders and Users

The Zope security model allows you to create user databases inside a Folder. These user databases are a special kind of Folder called a User Folder . In addition to acting as a user database for a Folder, User Folders are special because the only thing you can add to them is user objects. This section describes the management of User Folders and users.

As ZAcme website grows, it is often desirable to give different people special privileges to sections of the site that apply to them. For example, a Public Relations department might want to keep a Company News folder. Only the PR staff should have access to that area, not Research and Development, and vice versa. User Folders allow users to be added at different points in the object hierarchy.
