GrufSpaces

GrufSpaces is a Plone Product that allows group members to work together in dedicated folders.
A group administrator can assign group members and visitors, and let them know by email notification.
Group members also have the possibility to send an email to all members of the group.

When you use classic GroupSpaces without GroupSpace Areas, you'll have to take extra care about security and workflows. If you don't want to bother about the following problems, consider using GroupSpace Areas.

If you want to completely hide content inside a closed workflow, you'll have to change the standard Plone workflow. The standard Plone Workflow gives view permission to Anonymous. This is not double-checked by the catalog when cataloging the content in the GroupSpace.

To correct this, you should remove permission settings for Anonymous in the Plone workflows.

If you don't do this change, normal members of the site will be able to see content in the "recent changes" portlet, even if they are not GroupMembers.

Another important point is that all content types that can be put into a GroupSpace need to have a workflow. If a content type does not have a workflow, it is assumed that anonymous can access it, and this will make it appear in the catalog search even if it is in a closed GroupSpace.

Requirements:

· Plone 2.1.2 upwards
