1. Open the Zope Management Interface (ZMI)

2. Click on the folder with the contents to be kept private

3. Click on the Security tab

4. Go to the row for “View”

5. In the column “Acquire permission settings?” uncheck “View”and uncheck box under "Anonymous"

6. Make sure that “Manager,” “Member,” and “Reviewer” are checked

7. Click on “Save”

8. Return to the Plone root screen

9. Click on “portal_workflow”

10. In the “Workflows” window, click “Update security settings” (at the bottom); otherwise, the folder's security and the workflow will be different
