Greets; Found a nice program on the net that allows me to import users from another app via xml-rpc and programatically create a new acl user folder in zope. Now while this works seemlessly in 2.6.4 in 2.7x it functions however I cannot enter the folder regardless of what role I have, from the ZMI. Digging around in the code I find this statement at the very end. ---------------------------- security.declareProtected(ManageUsersPermission,'getUser') def getUsers(self): """Return a list of user objects""" return map(self.getUser,self.getUserNames()) ---------------------------- Further digging on the net to try and get an understanding of this, I find Dieters comments here; http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2002-January/014715.html with a summary of " "declareProtected" requires the wrapping" Im wondering if this is the source of the problem or do I need to look elsewhere? /ch
