Please Help! Wierd error that wasn't there before...
I had this working before... a user fills out a form which posts to a script which in turn creates a new user. Now, when a user is created in acl_users and when I click on it, I get the error below... I've tried changing the roles, moving the acl_users directory and changing the python script, all to no avail. The Zope user stuff is becoming really frustrating. I could use some help. Thanks in advance.

The management page you are accessing above uses "<some_role> in user.roles" and this fails, because both "<some_role>" as well as "user.roles" are strings. Delete your user, fix your script (to pass a sequence of roles, not a string) and try again. Dieter
Great, that worked perfectly. Thanks again. On Sunday, November 4, 2001, at 11:56 AM, Dieter Maurer wrote:
