You could also create a Users folder with a subfolder for each user. You would access the user's folder in HTML thus: <dtml-with Users> <dtml-with ThisUser> ...read or write properties or user objects... </dtml-with> </dtml-with> You can use properties of the user folder for simple user-specific data. Or you have the flexibility to add other objects to the user's folder for unlimited expansion of the application; for example, a locator object, a "results of Test A" object, a "results of Test B" object. And you could create methods (DTML methods or otherwise) in the Users folder that would provide a common interface to all of the data in all of the users' subfolders. -- Loren

How (Where) can I store user specific data?

I am developing a product in python (Multible Choice Test) and want to store some data for every user (Results of the tests).

I see two ways: Add data to the user object in acl_users or Store data in a hash with the user-id as key

What do you think?
