I have a folder containing subfolders for different departments.... I would like to have all user objects in one folder. You probably would need an external method, as sensitive information (such as passwords) is shielded from DTML access.

Have a look at "AccessControl.User" to find out what methods user folders and users have to get at the information and to create a new user automatically in a user folder. Dieter
