how can I determine the list of user names?
I would like to construct a pull down of the users defined in an acl_users of a particular location. Say in particular, that /protected/acl_users exists. How do I find (in dtml or in python), the list of names defined in that particular acl_users. To slightly generalize, how would one tree-walk to find the list of all acl_users above a particular object? Thanks Jim

I am doing this soon, also, so I've put in a little thought on the problem. (But only a little :)

My guess (untested) is : <select name="users"> <dtml-in getUserNames> <option value="<dtml-var sequence-item>"><dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> </select>

Well, as I said, this is untested, but I'm assuming getUserNames does this for you. The ZQR is somewhat sparse on the details.
Thanks
Please, let me know how this goes.

Thanks. Real close. Again, assuming /protected/acl_users is the list of users I am interested in: <dtml-in "protected.acl_users.getUserNames()"> <dtml-var sequence-item> </dtml-in> will grab the user names. The pull down is basic html.

I am not really worried about this. The above suffices for me (and I think I could do it from the above anyway). This part of the question was asked only for completeness.

When do you need it (can it wait a bit?), and are you needing to authenticate against an external database? The Membership (ALPHA!) product has the means for doing so, but it looks a weak or two from being beta. Mind you, I do have three production sites using it, but I like living on the edge ... the view is better. :) -- Do not meddle in the affairs of sysadmins, for they are easy to annoy, and have the root password.
