OK, that seems like a great compromise. My plan to have a Users Folder along side my SimpleUsers acl_users folder, and add User subfolders in the Users folder which contain my user meta information. I'm a bit rusty on the zope API. I'm overriding addUser in the SimpleUserFolder def addUser(self, name, password, roles, domains, **kw): pass What is the zope magic that would allow me to create a folder named "name" in Users where Users is a plain vanilla folder in the same container that the SimpleUserFolder is located in? I know I need something like container.manage_addFolder(name) but I don't know how to get the container in the zope API? Thanks! JDH
