from AccessControl import getSecurityManager return getSecurityManager().getUser()

how about:

# Returns the name of the current authenticated user return(context.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName())

REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER works, but i remember that this is not as safe as the other method. getSecurityManager().getUser() is the preferred one. Met vriendelijke groeten, Hans de Wit Stichting Farmaceutische Kengetallen Postbus 30460 2500 GL DEN HAAG Tel. 070-3737448 Fax 070-3737445
