Managing users via Zope is currently a Manager role, and occurs
in the Zope Management Interface not the Silva Management Area. The recommended way of managing users is to
hook up Zope to LDAP using LDAPUserFolder (see the INSTALL.txt which
comes with the Silva cod download for more information). Alternatively you can manage
users manually, as described here.
Login to the Zope Management Interface. Type /manage at the end of your Silva site url - http://www.mysilvasite.com/manage. Fill in the dialog box with your user name and password.
You will then enter the Zope Management Interface (ZMI).
Fig. 1
We recommend creating users in the Silva root (or even above it). This
locates all users in one place, and provides an overview of all people
involved. Fig.1 shows the acl_users folder above, that is outside the silve root.
If you don't have an acl_users folder already add a User Folder from the drop down list and click Add. (see Fig.1) This adds a User Folder with the id acl_users. One cannot add more than one User Folder.
To add new users click on the acl_users folder
Fig. 2
Click on Add to add a new user.
Fig. 3
Fill out the Name and allocate a Password and click Add. Do not add a role here, ignore the Manager and Owner option. (These are default Zope roles and will override options inside Silva)
To modify a user click on the name in the user list. Delete users by checking the corresponding checkbox to the left of the name, and click delete.
You will not be asked to confirm your actions. If necessary you can use the “Undo” tab to correct errors.
To enter the Silva Management Area from the Zope Management Interface, click onto your Silva Folder in the ZMI see Fig. 2. In Fig. 2 it's called Shakespeare. Then click onto Silva/edit... in the top navigation bar. You are now in the Silva Management Area and can add roles and permissions to users.
