hello,
I am a very pleased user of grufSpaces, but I
noticed a small feature that got me crazy for few days
and should be documented (or better fixed).

When an user is ONLY a groupVisitor, the portlet "my
group space" does not appears for him; so he has to
know the URL of the group's workspace to access content
in read-only mode.

Everything is fine, if he is a "groupMember"; he does
get the portlet as a "quick link" to his workspaces;
but in that case, the default permissions are Add
content, Delete ....

So I had to play with security in ZMI for some of my
groups spaces by removing all "modify permissions" to
groupMember, that so become read-only participants and
use the role "groupLeader" for those allowed to
modify... It works, but it is slightly different of
the "official names'" for the group* roles.

Thanks anyway for a great product .
