Alan! I have been developing a user folder that requires the REQUEST to be acquireable at all times. I hit the very same wall wrt local roles screens. Issue seems to be that 'user_names' is called on an unwrapped 'acl_users'. Just like you I figured that it is probably not a good idea to remove the call to 'aq_base'. My solution was to rewrap 'user_names' right before calling it. --- Role.py Thu Oct 17 19:14:50 2002 +++ Role.py Thu Oct 17 19:37:35 2002 @@ -312,6 +312,7 @@ if mlu < 0: raise OverflowError un = getattr(aclu, 'user_names', _notfound) if un is not _notfound: + un = aclu.__of__(item).user_names # rewrap unl = un() # maxlistusers of 0 is list all if len(unl) > mlu and mlu != 0: HTH, Stefan --On Mittwoch, 15.

Its inside of AccessControl/Role.py in get_valid_userids()
I have a object herirachy like:
Zope Root -> MyApp -> Company -> Business Units
in My App I have a PsycoPG connection object call my_users and in all Companies I have a exUserFolder.
now when I goto a Company or Business Unit and try to assign/edit/list Local roles it bombs. Because exUserFolder cant find the 'my_users' connection object. Why? Well I know why..
because when the xxxLocalRoles screens are called they call get_valid_userids which at the top says: aclu = getattr(aq_base(item), 'acl_users', _notfound)
and immediately aclu has all acquisition wrappers peeled off of it and now I can not go any further up the heirarchy than Company.
I am very tempted in taking the aq_base(item) part off..and I believe all will work... But I really need someone who understands the implications of this to say whats the best way forward. I was thinking about overriding this method in my Company/Business Unit classes with a version that doesnt have aq_base().
