[Zope] Can I *add* to the roles a user has?

Good point Phil - when your message came through I thought "yup that's it".

However, it seems that with local roles I need to know the username before
hand (ie from an acquired acl_users folder) I'm using a UserDB folder
connected to a database.

I've always had real problems with an acl_users folder in a sub folder where
a UserDB is doing top level authentication though.

I guess I'll look at this option, as I tried the pluggable brains 'solution'
and, as my message to Jens shows, it's not working in the way I wanted it
to. My only other option is to try to use *gulp* LoginManager as suggested
by Jim.

Cheers
Tone.
