[Zope] user permissions

I just installed 2.2.  I read that the superuser account cannot edit or add
objects so I set up a user as manager and one as an owner.  The user
accounts are able to add objects but only the superuser account can see them
once they are added.

EX:
I am logged in as user Mike and add & edit a DTML Document.  I complete the
edit and choose change. When I'm returned to the contents the new document
is
not visible.  If I now log in as the superuser, everything is visible but,
of course, cannot be moved, added to, or copied and pasted.

So my question is "What have I not done correctly to have created this catch
22 situation.?"
