So to access any methods of objects from a python script or DTML I have to create an external method? Is this right.
Yes, unless those methods have been specifically designed to be used from Python Scripts.
Would some kind soul explain why this is the case or if I'm doing it incorrectly or I missed something.
It's for security reasons. If you have a look in standard.py of the PythonScripts product, you can see how to make security assertions about modules, classes and their methods.
I have read the security.declareProtected stuff on ZDG and noticed that getUsers has security.declareProtected(ManageUsers, 'getUsers'). The python script above has a proxy role of manager which has permission to 'Manage users'.
Hmmm... that is odd. Are you sure that's the getUsers you're executing? If it is, then maybe there's a bug lurking here? cheers, Chris
