[Zope-CMF] Re: allow managers to use setMemberProperties() method

[Troy Farrell]

Ok.  Handholding (no assumptions, ok, a few assumptions):
1) Create a file in the Zope/Extensions directory called 'memprop.py'
2) Put the function below in that file
3) Create an external method:

Id: setAMembersProperties
Title: We don't care
Module Name: memprop
Function Name: setAMembersProperties

4) Set pemissions so that only the groups who need it can 'View', 'Take 
ownership', 'Change permissions' and 'Access contents information'
5)Create a python script to call your external method:

username = 'bob'
mapping = {'name': 'Bob Jones'
           ,'email': 'me@yahoo.com'
           }
container.setAMembersProperties(username, mapping)

6) Adjust accordingly.
