The user maintenance in ZMS 2.0 has been completely reworked and focused on central directory services (e.g. LDAP).
ZMS access maintenance with LDAP interface; as authentication name that one is used which is specified in the Zope-LDAPUserFolder configuration as 'Login Name Attribute'.
From version 2.0 on ZMS accesses to a central user folder only at the level of the ZMS objects. This regularly is a common UserFolder, but it can also be a SimpleUserFolder (e.g. for authentication against special objects from the ZMS or external relative SQL databases) or a LDAPUserFolder (for authentication against a LDAP directory service).
If a SimpleUserFolder is used, the methods addUser, editUser, deleteUser, getUserNames and getUserDetails imay be implemented and used here. Currently no further support in the ZMS Management Interface (ZMI) is aimed.
Specification of individual rights; for each node roles and languages can be assigned to.
Configuration of LDAPUserFolders for communication with the LDAP service; the product is not absolutely required.
Users are reached through the ZMS root menue "Access"; in this menue users and roles are generated seperately. At the overview page each "User" first is initialized without role (login name, password, e-mail, hyperlink to profile data). In a user-specific submenue any number of content nodes can be selected, on which the user may have different rights resp. roles. For the assignment of access nodes ('local roles') the following attributes are mandatory to be defined: language(s), URL of the content node (per sitemap popup) and related role(s). Per default the known roles are existing: Admin, Editor, Author and Subscriber.
