we (plone folks) have a use case for them, although it relates more to
getting pas to implement more of the standard zope user folder
interface. currently pas only implements user add api. based on that we
came up with a usermanagement interface plugin which embodies writes to
the user sources which is delegated to by a standard user folder api
implementation in pas as well as adding the ttw callable user folder api
methods. the interface..

class IUserManagement( plugins.IUserAdderPlugin ):

    """ Manage users
    """

    def doChangeUser( login, password, **kw):
        """
        change a user's password ( differs from role )
        roles are set in the pas engine api for
        the same but are set via a role manager )
 
        o Return a Boolean indicating whether a user was modified or not
        """

    def doDeleteUser( login ):
        """
        Remove a user record from a User Manager, with the given login
        and password

        o Return a Boolean indicating whether a user was removed or not
        """


i'd like to merge this back to the pas cvs if it sounds good.

cheers,
