Hi Alex,

I tried many possibilities but failed. see my
observations below,

I dont want everybody to see the configuration
directories, that is why I am having those denied=true
for those targets, but the thing which I can't
understand is as we have the following shouldnt this
overide the top level permissions.

<permission principal="group:publishers"
 target="/**/"  activity="read"/>

<permission principal="group:publishers"
 target="/**/*.*" activity="read"/>

As the above failed I did overide all the denied=true
entries in the publisher group to have the read
rights,
but that also failed. This is what you recommended.

In the end I removed all the top denied=true entries,
e.g
<permission principal="group:anybody"
target="/config/**/" activity="read" denied="true"/>

 but still it fails.

If I go to a specific directory and try to zip which
has not been restricted, still it shows the same
problem.

Can you try this in your environment.? I have a
feeling something wrong some where, let me know if you
want to see my zip.xml

Thanks,
