Insufficient privileges

When you get an Unauthorized exception ("Insufficient privileges"), it's often difficult to determine exactly which permission is causing the problem. Enter VerboseSecurity.

VerboseSecurity is your best friend, along with the DocFinderTab and the Zope debugger. It will tell you exactly what permission caused Zope to deny you access, in which context, and which roles you need to give to solve the problem.

Full description of how to use VerboseSecurity can be found here: How to debug Unauthorized / Insufficient Privileges.
