In the documentation for SimpleUserFolder, it says

def addUser(name, password, roles)

This adds a user. It should raise an exception if the user already exists.

What should it do if the user can't be added for any other reason? Any exception that I raise returns the error "user already exists" to the user, but the user doesn't already exist, I just don't want to allow him to be created. Surely I should be able to return different exceptions to give different reasons to the user as to why a new user cannot be created.

Jamie, Im a little confused by your question so forgive if Im off the mark. But shouldn't you determine whether or not you wish to add a user *before* you call addUser? David
