I'm trying to learn how to hook into the pier security/user model but
I'm getting lost amongst
all the trees. Can someone point to the right couple classes/methods
to look in?
I got as far as PBEntry having an author and uuid but from there...
lost.
Trying to understand how I can use a Seaside application inside pier
and use
pier users/security etc.
Any and all help, big and small greatly appreciated.

1. Click on 'Add'
2. Select 'Component'
3. Choose your Seaside component you want to secure from the list.
4. The application is added to Pier now.
Now to get started with security you need to first add a few
components to manage users and groups:
1. The same way you added your application add the Pier components
1.a. Users
1.b. Groups
Now comes the fun part, securing the pages. Remember that the Pier
model resembles a Unix file-system, but with objects. Every page (or
component) has an owner and a group, as well as permissions for owner,
group and others. You can change these settings using the commands
'Change Owner', 'Change Group' and 'Change Others'. The commands
are
very powerful and can be applied recursively to whole trees. As well
as they allow one to add or remove specific permissions (such as
viewing or editing).
Hope this helps?
There is some more information in the FAQ [1].
Cheers,
Lukas

Let me try this again.. I need to be able to get the information on
the user
undertaking an action and store it... like
Ed is logged in
Ed creates an object, object is listed as having been created by Ed.

Ed is logged in
Ed creates an object, object is listed as having been created by Ed.
The currently logged user is in PRContext.
You can get the current context from anywhere using PRCurrentContext value.

Yes, have a look at the accessors in PRContext.
Did. Just wanted to make sure I had it correct. Learning Pier is a bit
of a
struggle at first but I'm starting to get some things slowly. I look
forward to the moment of
revelation when it comes.
Thanks Lukas.
