Hi, I'm calling this method after setting the folwloing attributes in the REQUEST var. and then calling the manage_users method. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('name',summary['user_name'])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('password',summary['password'])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('confirm',summary['password'])"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles', 'Manager')"> <dtml-call "acl_users.manage_users('Add', REQUEST, RESPONSE)"> It creates the account but gives me the following error when I try to manage the account: Zope has encountered an error while publishing this resource. Error Type: TypeError Error Value: string member test needs char left operand. Does any one have any idea what I'm doing wrong? If I remove the role setting and then call the manage_users method, the account is created but it does not have the managers role. Thanks for any info..
