[Zope] become user (su inside Zope) - pretend to be another user

[Stefan H. Holek]

You can do the following (in an ExternalMethod):

  from AccessControl.SecurityManagement import newSecurityManager

  uf = self.acl_users
  user = uf.getUserById('blah').__of__(uf)
  newSecurityManager(None, user)
  # You are now logged in as user 'blah'
