# ZClass>Methods

This view allows you to manage a class's methods.

A ZClass inherits methods from its base classes. It can also contain methods which are managed through the web. This view allows you to manage methods though the web. Methods that you create through the web will be accessible as methods on instances of the ZClass.

The creation and management of methods proceeds exactly like the management of a folder's contents. See Folder>Contents. The main difference between editing method objects and normal objects is that methods have a `Define Permissions` view in place of a `Security` view. See ZClass>Define Permissions.

If you create ZClasses inside the Methods view of a ZClass instances of the inner class will be addable to instances of the outer class. Typically the outer class will subclass `ObjectManager` and the inner class will be only relevant inside the outer class.
