[Zope-dev] User Groups

[Florent Guillaume]

I've just released NuxUserGroups 0.6.
This is the first release and is still alpha-quality code pending
further testing, so I'm only announcing it here.


This product adds the notion of groups of users.

For now, the groups are only used in the local roles, where you can
define an additionnal mapping of groups -> roles. This gives the users
who belong to these groups additionnal local roles.

The product:

  - defines a new UserFolder, called UserFolderWithGroups, where you
    can define the groups and what users belong to what groups,

  - patches BasicUser to add group support methods,

  - patches the the local roles management pages of the ZMI to define
    what groups have what local roles,

  - patches the local role machinery in BasicUser to take into account
    the groups when computing local roles.

TODO

  - CMF catalog support.

CAVEATS

  This product is not compatible with other products that may patch
  local roles support in BasicUser, for instance LRBlacklist. Do not use
  them together.
