[Zope] howto set up a large set of users in a school

[Dylan Reinhardt]

The acl_users folder object has a method:

_addUser(self,name,password,confirm_pw,[roles],[domains],REQUEST=None)

I'm pretty sure confirm_pw is the last required argument.

Wherever your data comes from, iterate over it and call this method ~1300 
times.

Setting up 1300 user accounts is easy... it's the *administration* of that 
many accounts that'll get you.  You may want to think about setting up 
tools to administer those accounts without having to open acl_users in the 
manage_edit interface.  Getting anything done with that many objects in a 
folder can be a bit tedious.

HTH,

Dylan
