This product include Admin and PhoneBook and is for people who keep users into an SQL database.

Security is provided by UserDB.
This product don't include a UserDB instance.
You must add your own UserDB instance where you need to restrict access!


Download the .zexp file and import it anywhere in your Zope tree except into Control_panel/products.

To work with this UserManager you must create 4 tables in any kind of SQL database you use (I tested with MS Access, MS SQL and Postgres) and fill them with information only by HTML links!

Then install UserDB.(The SQL tables are fit for UserDB.)
And add a UserDB instance into a folder, don't change anything into UserDB (you don't need) and force user authentification by creating a role Users and allow view right only for Users.

When you add a user from PhoneBook or from UserManager the user will have Zope role=Users and group='whatever you selected to have'


Into dtml you can check if current user can access current page with:
<dtml-if "is_member(Writers)">
.. instructions ..
</dtml-if>
Which means ALL users can view the page, but the page will be rendered only for users which are member of <b>Writers</b> group.


is_member is a PythonScript:
Title: check if current user is member of groups
Parameter List: groups
Body:

#check if current user is member of groups

import string
user=context.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()
gr=['Everyone']
for i in context.SQL(q="select * from users where username='"+user+"'"):
   gr=string.split('All,Everyone,+i.groups,,)
   break
flag=0
for i in string.split(groups+,aa',,):
   if i in gr:
     flag=1
     break
return int(flag)
