[Zope-dev] Owner Role and ZCatalog

[Jason Spisak]

Zopists

Has anyone had luck implementing a ZClass based on the User object, and
creating a User folder that contains them?  I'm trying and not getting
anywhere.  Basically I would like to have User objects that have other
properties besides just password, roles, domain.  I don't really want to
write the python based on the BasicUser object, but if that's the only
way I'd like to know.

All my best,

Jason
