[Zope-CMF] CopySupport and FSPythonScripts?

[Robert Rottermann]

I just ran into a similar problem.
I created a CMF site for an conference.
Visitors can only view the sites (can not even join)
However they can register for the conference.
When the registree fills out a registration form I create an "Attendant"
object in a temporary folder.
This object is presented in a second form for confirmation.
Afterwards I want to move it to the "real" folder.
However as soon as the object is pasted into the destination folder the user
is presented with a login screen.
The only solution I found so far is to create a new object in the
destination folder and to copy the properties.

All this object creating and copying is done in a python script. Its has
every possible proxy role.
I tried to use something like
> >             user = self.getMemberById(member_id)
> >             newSecurityManager(None, user)
however I have the impression that I cant reach them from a script.
(for political reasons I would like to avoid to create a product or an
external method)

Is there a way to cut and paste the object the script created
programmatically ?

thanks for your time
Robert
