configure each instance to act as you would like. </p><p>This is done from the Applications page. Log in, go to the
Admin or Control Panel, click on the subsite the application is
in, and click on Applications. If you click on the 'Permissions'
link, you will see and be able to set the permissions for that
application. </p><p>Each application may have different behavior for what Read
Create Write and Admin permissions mean, but generally the
permissions are straightforward. If you find the behavior is not
what you expect after setting permissions, you can post a bug in
the OpenACS bugtracker.</p><p>'The Public' refers to users to the website who are not
