[Zope] Authentication from within External Methods

[Marc O. Sandlus]

Hello again,

FYI

after one day of investigation I found out that Zope calls External
Methods with two implicit parameters, "self" and "REQUEST". From them I
could figure out, who the authenticated user is and which roles he has.

Well, if that wasn't obvious...

I am really frustrated now, and would like to stop working with Zope,
because it's too time-consuming to find out how to do the simplest
things. During this lost time I could implement a solution without Zope.
(And yes, at least one will reply: So why don't you do it then? I will,
my next project will be zopefree)

Regards,
Marc
