[Zope] Guru Meditations on roles, __roles__ etc?

[Jens Vagelpohl]

the security tab will not show you any roles from LDAP unless you go and 
explicitly create roles inside zope.

in general, user folders are not asked for available roles when the 
security tab is rendered. it is indeed the responsibility of the container 
hierarchy.
