Hello
I'm just starting a larger project on a local IT-Portal and have some basic questions at first:

some background:
We have over 250 PC'users that are going to use the portal for accessing IT-Services. Now we are just starting up and I want get going with the portal.

I have installed it on a clean W2k Server and then installed ezp3 ontop ( works fine). I want first to define the project group users. I then created a user group called IT-Portal Administrators containing all users in the project. I also made a Folder in "My Folder" that I called IT-Portal (this is to be root folder for all content in IT-Portal) and I also made a Section called IT-Portal. then I assigned the IT-Portal section to the IT-Portal Folder (is this nessesary).

I then made two Roles: IT-Portal SAdmins and IT-Portal Administrator, giving IT-Portal SAdmins access to hole portal (* * *). Now The problem starts. I want to restrict the IT-Portal Administrators to use the IT-Portal folder as root folder, and they should not see anything else (ie. the demo sites and so on). I simply want this role to only have access to IT-Portal content, users and so on.

How do I do this?
Are my sollution wrong?
How can I solve this?
Do I have to make a new site access to enable this?

PS! i belive I have to ask alot of questions in the future so maybe I have to invest in a support licence...

Since you have assigned new section to IT-Portal folder you can restrict access to any user to this folder. Role policy for this is:
content:read:Section(IT-Portal)
That policy is to give read access you need to add similar policies for all functiions that users are able to execute.
Read http://ez.no/manual/user/permissions for more info.
