Hi all Does anyone know how I can "be someone" besides Anonymous when debugging Zope? This works: """ In [80]: Zope.debug('/fab/materials/invokeFactory?type_name=Material&id=test2', u='user:secret', ) ____________________________________________________________ Status: 302 Moved Temporarily X-Powered-By: Zope (www.zope.org), Python (www.python.org) Content-Length: 5 Content-Type: text/plain Location: http://localhost/Zope/fab/materials/test2/base_edit test2 """ But I want to do stuff like: """ In [83]: at = app.fab.materials.invokeFactory('Material', 'test3') [...] Unauthorized: Your user account is defined outside the context of the object being accessed.

Without that Zope.debug call I would've got """ Unauthorized: Your user account does not have the required permission. Access to 'addMaterial' of (__FactoryDispatcher__ instance at 419f0a00) denied.
