[Zope-dev] UserFolder and xmlrpc

[Richard Jones]

Are there any plans to "update" UserFolder to allow xmlrpc calls into it? The 
addition of manage_addUser/manage_editUser/etc that wrap 
_doAddUser/_doChangeUser/etc would probably suffice. The current manage_users 
interface is not xml-rpc friendly, unfortunately :)

The point of this, BTW, is to allow a user-friendly "control panel" on the 
mac and windows to add (and possibly later edit) manager users. We find that 
the process of [remembering|setting] the admin password and then logging in, 
finding acl_users, adding a user, logging out (usually quitting the browser), 
logging back in is quite a problem for our users. Hence the control panel 
being able to add a manager user in one step.
