I am testing Plone with the intent to use it for document control. I'm having a bit of trouble wading through the various (and sometimes incomplete) instructions on how to implement what I'm trying to do. I'm hoping that someone here could help me out. Here's what I'm trying to do:
1 - Have the contents of the entire site ONLY viewable if logged in. No anonymous access.
2 - Have a top level folder called "Work Instructions". Within that folder would, for instance, be 3 subfolders: Dept A, Dept B, Dept C.
3 - Have an individual Group setup that can access each subfolder. For instance, Group A can access ONLY Dept A subfolder, Group B accesses only Dept B subfolder, etc.
4 - Allow individuals on a case-by-case basis who may not be a member of a given group to have access to one or specific pages with the subfolder. For instance, Mary, who is a member of Group B, needs to have access to Instruction 1 which resides in the Dept A subfolder. She would not have access to anything else in the Dept A subfolder.
5 - Allow any page that is under revision to be held in an unpublished state where it not visible to the general logged in user. It would only be available to a select group who would be responsible for creating/reviewing/approving the document. Once published, it would be available to all users who have the appropriate access.
I realize these may be elementary questions, but I've not been able to find documentation that accurately guides me through it. It seems to come in bits and pieces and isn't always relevant to the most recent version of Plone. For instance, I can't find much about the new roles.
I've also been working with my locally installed instance of Plone but haven't been able so far to accomplish what I'm wanting.
Any help or direction you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
