[Zope] moving users

[robert rottermann]

You can do it with an external script you name copyUser

def copyUser(oldfolder, newfolder):
    for u in oldfolder.getUsers():
        pw =3D u._getPassword()
        newfolder._doAddUser(u.getUserName(), pw, u.getRoles(),=20
u.getDomains())

this you call with from a python script as follows:

old_uf =3D context.tmp.acl_users
new_uf =3D context.acl_users
context.copyUser(old_uf, new_uf)

return "done"
