... It would seem to me that my options are to create the user in MySQL and then additionally create that user in acl_users or to authenticate the user in MySQL and not use the user folder at all.
There are UserFolders that find their users in an external database: e.g. SimpleUserFolder and ExUserFolder. I would use some of them.
It seems fairly easy to create the user within the user folder with the manage_users method except that I have only gotten this to work if I set the Manage Users permission to Anonymous for the registered user's directory. This doesn't seem well-advised.
You are interested in "Proxie" roles. Please read about them in the Zope Book (2.6 edition). Dieter
