[Zope] Simple high-level question - mabye about WEBDAV?

[Chris McDonough]

How does it not work?

Webfolders doesn't allow setting permissions on folders or files on a  
share.  You'll need to do this through Zope's security interface via  
a browser.

I suspect the situation is this: you will likely need a need a  
content management or a fat client or both if you want users to be  
able to manage security via a "normal" (nothing really normal about  
it, IMO, but...) Explorer window.

Zope has a completely different security model than either UNIX or  
Windows, so something needs to map its notion of security to the  
client's.  Plain-old-webfolders won't help here.

I wonder why you don't just use a Windows share here?  What does Zope  
give you that it wouldn't in this case?
