The new Zope beta site does this :)

Probably the thing you want to do is use "Proxy Roles". You can make a DTML method with a Proxy Role of "Manager", but have the method viewable by anonymous... That DTML method will be able to do anything a Manager can do.

Thanks, Kevin, that is definitely the way to go. Could anyone give me the syntax for the API call to add a user to the user folder? Is it:

"acl_users.addUser(user, password, domains, roles)"

From the source (User.py):

def manage_users(self,submit=None,REQUEST=None,RESPONSE=None): [deletia] if submit=='Add': name =reqattr(REQUEST, 'name') password=reqattr(REQUEST, 'password') confirm =reqattr(REQUEST, 'confirm') roles =reqattr(REQUEST, 'roles') domains =reqattr(REQUEST, 'domains') return self._addUser(name,password,confirm,roles,domains,REQUEST) Looks like you want to do something like pull name, password and confirm from the form and then: <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('roles', 'blah blah')"> <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('domains', 'blah blah')"> <dtml-call "acl_users.manage_users('Add', REQUEST, RESPONSE)"> Kevin
