[BlueBream] User Registration and Folder GUI needed

[Ilshad Khabibullin]

I agree.

UI for editing PAU is complex form anyway (for non-technical users). And it
can't be universal enough to include into a framework, but only into CMS.
Manage groups for users - from group's context - is universal but not
convenient and not widely usable. Instead of this, manage groups for users -
from user's context - is usable but its implementation highly depend on
implementation of users' storage. And etc.

So configure PAU in setup-install handlers (or z3c.configuration adapters).
And then write your custom needed form for manage groups for users.
