How do I add a role?

Up to Table of Contents

This FAQ applies to: Plone 2.5.x

In Plone 2.5 and using PAS, there is an additional step required to add a role. Here's how to make it work.

If you want to add a role to your plone site, you need to do two things:

  1. Add the role in the ZMI, under the Security Tab.
  2. Add the role in the portal_role_manager, which is available under acl_users.
If only step 1 is executed, you will not be able to assign the role to groups using the "Users and Groups Administration" in site setup - the checkboxes for each role will be disabled. There are probably other things that fail to work as well.
