commands rights

Hi,

I am building a site using Pier and I have the following problem  
related to user rights. The explanations are rather long.

I have two groups of users:
- admins - An admin can do anything, including changing rights.
- editors - An editor can only Edit, Move, Remove, Add, Copy and Logout.

I have two users (and will have more in the future):
- admin - belongs to both the admin and editors groups.
- editor - belongs to the editor group.

I created 2 Commands components and embedded both in the page:
- completeCommands - this component include all commands. It has the  
following rights:
owner mode: --aaa-ccccemrsv
group mode: --aaa-ccccemrsv
other mode: --------------v
owner: admin
group: admins
- editorCommands - this contains only the editor commands. It has the  
following rights:
owner mode: --aaa-ccccemrsv
group mode: --aaa-ccccemrsv
other mode: --------------v
owner: admin
group: editors

When I login as admin, I see both components, as I expected. The  
problem is that when I login as editor, I only see the Logout command  
from the editorCommands. What am I doing wrong?

Cheers,
Doru

The list of commands the command widget shows is always reduced to a  
list of currently useable commands (permission and context wise).

This means if you setup your widget to show 'Edit', 'Add' and  
'Logout', it won't show 'Edit' if the user has not the permission to  
edit the current page or the current page has no edit command at all.  
It also won't show 'Add' if the current structure doesn't allow  
children. And the last example, it won't show 'Logout' if the hasn't  
been logged in.

Does that help?

Cheers,
Lukas
