[Zope-PAS] adding/removing users

[Miles]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your pointers on how to reformulate my ACL issue in 
PAS-terms - it proved very insightful.

I am using PAS in an environment where I want zope to be able to 
add/edit/delete user accounts.  As far as I can see, although the 
options are documented in the interfaces, the service doesn't provide 
them, and isn't wired up to pass such calls down to any individual 
plugins that do provide these abilities.

For example:

  - adding a user is implemented via _doAddUser, but not via the 
userFolderDoAddUser method that is part of the IMutableUserFolder interface
  - deleting a user is not implemented on the service, only on the plugin
(indeed it raises an exception which CMF doesn't catch)

To get round this, I am currently using my own copy of PAS where I have 
wired up the IMutableUserFolder interface methods to pass on to the 
plugins.  If I tidied this up a bit, would it be a useful contribution 
to PAS, or is there some reason that I haven't picked up on that makes 
them too user-specific for PAS to provide?

Thanks

Miles
