Using basic Zope, yes. If you want end-users to manage content in any way,
you have to create the end-user interface and expose the underlying
management interface through it as you see fit.

The Content  Management Framework (CMF) Zope product (zope-cmf@zope.org) is
another approach for portal-like environments. CMF is specifically designed
to delegate content management using a common, more user-friendly interface.
