Dear People,

I am coding a cmftype to be used together with Plone. My question is why can i get the user using :

self.REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'].getUserName()

but when i try :

AccessControl.SecurityManager.getUserName()

it gives me an error saying that type 'module' is uncallable ?

Any help or explanation is appreciated. Thank you.

You want to query a SecurityManager instance, not a reference to the module itself. from AccessControl import getSecurityManager securityManager = getSecurityManager() user = securityManager.getUser() userName = user.getUserName() -- Jim Washington
