I have a site I am building that my client has a need to do things via restful server. All is going fine until I have tried to use the restful server to create a new member.

This line of code https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-restfulserver/blob/master/code/RestfulServer.php#L398

i.e.

if(!singleton($className)->canCreate()) return $this->permissionFailure();

is using the canCreate() function from Member (well, from DataObject) - its is ignoring the canCreate() function in my CustomMember DataObjectDecorator. This means the code is checking to see if the member is admin when it needs no login (thats how my client wants it).

I've tried using customclass() to replace Member with a custom class and that didnt work either.

I dont want to touch the core files unless I have to but I can't find a solution.

Thanks,

Ben :)

P.S. the install is version 2.4 (2.4.7 IIRC).
