Alex Jones	Thursday 09 October 2003 9:02:49 am Tore, I believe the ideal solution for this case would be to use Sections to separate your content. If you create a section for each of the four categories above you could easily assign access rights to each. So, if you create two roles; one for students in Singapore and one for students in Boston you would assign both of them access rights to 'Content for all' and 'Content for al students', as well as access to the section that directly applies to them. This way you don't have to create new content classes based on their roles. Alex Alex [ bald_technologist on the IRC channel (irc.freenode.net): #eZpublish ] <i>When in doubt, clear the cache.</i>
Tore Skobba	Thursday 09 October 2003 9:16:08 am Hmm I thought section was for larger differences, such as layout etc. I am thinking about the users clicking an "News" folder. This folder then opens up into: News for anonymous News for all students News for Singapore students etc. However the site and most of the content is to be similar for all users, the only difference is that the various logged in user have access to more specific content in some folders(typically burowed down in the site). Thanks for comment Alex. I will look a bit more into sections, it might be the solution.

Hmm I thought section was for larger differences, such as layout etc. I am thinking about the users clicking an "News" folder. This folder then opens up into:

News for anonymous
News for all students
News for Singapore students
etc.

However the site and most of the content is to be similar for all users, the only difference is that the various logged in user have access to more specific content in some folders(typically burowed down in the site).

Thanks for comment Alex. I will look a bit more into sections, it might be the solution.
