Hi.

I come from the JCR Jackrabbit world, and maybe my words won't match clear EMF/CDO concepts, by I will try to explain my question.

I have a CDO server, with two users (say John and Kim)
I have a model (let's say a Galaxy, with Stars having Planets)
I want John to have write access only to the nodes in the star "Aldebaran" and its planets, only read access to star Cassiopee and no access to Rigel.
Kim herself shall have read access to all the Galaxy and no write access wherever.

I can't figure how to make this possible using the SecurityManager in CDO.
I see how I can add Users and Groups, but how can I associate resources and rights to these Assignees ?
Are there examples about those points ?

With instances of ResourcePermission or with your custom subtypes of Permission.

I doubt it, the Security model/manager are too new. Wait, Pierre Gaufillet said he's writing a tutorial...

Your remarks are of course welcome. Feel free also to edit it as required.
