I'm trying to add a users from within a PythonMethod. I have searched this list and found examples of how to add via DTML, but they all seem to require REQUEST. ... So, what I'm left to conclude is it's easier to add a new user from DTML than it is from a PythonMethod. Can't be!

You can use REQUEST in a PythonMethod, too. Either pass it explicitly as parameter or use "self.REQUEST" to access it. Dieter
