---------------

    This interface needs to be supported by objects that
    are returned by user validation and used for access control.

       i don't seem to be able to access these methods from DTML...
       example?

       for eg:
       <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getId()">returns zope user id
       <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()">return user name
       <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Manager')"> returned 1
       <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()"> returned 'Manager','Authenticated'
       <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRolesInContext('folder_name')"> 'Manager','Authenticated'
       <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getDomains()"> returned empty ()

       But the class is named AuthenticatedUser.  Why is it referenced with a different
       spelling (i.e. AUTHENTICATED_USER)?
