RE: Unauthorized: You are not allowed to manage portlets

The issue is caused because adding a Workgroup adds a portlet, which Plone-3 permissions only allow the Manager role. This issue also causes a rendering error in the "Members's Workgroups" portlet.

The only workaround I've found, thus far, is as follows:
1) in the ZMI, go to the site root and click on the Security tab
2) Go to "Portlets: Manage portlets" and enable "Members" by checking the box
3) Save to update settings.

This workaround does not suffice for a production environment because it gives Members full access to managing Plone-3 portlets on any page.

Any thoughts on how to edit the code are appreciated.

Thanks... Jim
