Available permissions in Plone¶
Description
What Zope security permissions you have available for your Plone coding
Listing different available permissions¶
Each permission name is a string.
To see available permissions, click Security tab at your site root in Zope Management Interface.
In programming, use pseudoconstants instead of permission string values:
For available ZCML permission mappings see:
Products/Five/permissions.zcml
- Permissions such as cmf.ModifyPortalContent, zope2.View
zope/security/permissions.zcml
- zope.Public
or search for the string <permission in *.zcml files in the eggs folder of your Plone development deployment.
Example using UNIX grep tool:
grep -C 3 -Ri --include=*.zcml "<permission" *
Useful permissions¶
Permissions are shown by their verbose name in the ZMI.
- List folder contents
- This governs whether you can get a listing of the contents of a folder; it doesn't check whether you have the right to view the objects listed.
- View
- This governs whether you are allowed to view some content.
- Modify Portal Content
- This governs whether you are allowed to modify some content.
- Access Contents Information
- This permission allows access to an object, without necessarily viewing the object. For example, a user may want to see the object's title in a list of results, even though the user can't view the contents of that file.
