They are stored in the repository on a per-directory basis. Look in the CVS directories for a file called "fileattr.xml". it is possible to edit these by hand, but you should really use the cvs chacl and cvs rchacl commands. > What prevents a regular user from changing access settings on a module?

This would force them to use the chacl commands, but if an admin uses the chacl command to set "control" to deny for everyone but himself, then regular users can't change things. Brian
