[Zope] programatically adding acl user folder

[Chris H]

Greets;

Found a nice program on the net that allows me to import users from 
another app via xml-rpc and programatically create a new acl user folder 
in zope. Now while this works seemlessly in 2.6.4 in 2.7x it functions 
however I cannot enter the folder regardless of what role I have, from 
the ZMI. Digging around in the code I find this statement at the very end.

----------------------------
security.declareProtected(ManageUsersPermission,'getUser')
    def getUsers(self):
        """Return a list of user objects"""
        return map(self.getUser,self.getUserNames())
----------------------------

Further digging on the net to try and get an understanding of this,  I 
find Dieters comments here; 
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope-dev/2002-January/014715.html with a 
summary of " "declareProtected" requires the wrapping"

Im wondering if this is the source of the problem or do I need to look 
elsewhere?
