Roll Your Own vs GUF vs exUserFolder - Why is one better than the other
Hello! I would like to hear from people using GUF and/or exUserFolder and what they think of them, especially why they prefer on over the other, or opinions on why one is better than the other. I've been trying to understand how both products work and AFAICT the main difference is that exUserFolder provides user properties while GUF does not. GUF seems to be better at handling roles thn exUserFolder (in terms of being able to extract them from the database). Any comments insight, corrections of misconceptions are welcome. I need to have a working solution to our problem RSN and I want to use as much of Zope as possible. It won't be possible to solely rely on the zope sec mechanisms but if i can delegate to zope as much as possible it would be a big gain. The last and least desireable option would be to simply ignore the zope sec mechanisms and roll our own sec management.

I cant comment on the others, but please dont roll your own unless you have to, we have so many already and no definitive one. You might find improving one of the existing ones even more... Cheers. -- Andy McKay.
I would recommend exUserFolder, GUF hasn't be updated in a long time... It's also very easy to add authentication and property sources to the exUserFolder... Mithro Andy McKay wrote:
