    Hi,

    I have read the RTFM pages about Security Tutorials
    But I don't find the way to do what I want :

    1. I have a complex website with lots of resources
    2. There is a blog area, with a resource parent and inside a collection of articles
    3. I want my customer, once loggued on the manager, could create and edit new article as blog entry
    4. I don't want my customer see other resources on the tree on the left side
    At the last point, I have a problem : I can't find the way to do this !

      You need to create Resource Groups, one for the blog resources and one for the rest of them. Connect the blog resource group to your editor's user group.
      Connect the other resource group to the other user groups.
      Assign the resources to the appropriate group.
      Any resource not in a group is allowed to everyone.
