Getting logged in user

Getting the current logged in user and his/her username

from Products.CMFCore.utils import getToolByName

mt = getToolByName(self, 'portal_membership')
if mt.isAnonymousUser(): # the user has not logged in
    pass
else:
    member = mt.getAuthenticatedMember()
    username = member.getUserName()

Delete users

        try:
            self.portal.acl_users.source_users.doDeleteUser("hr")            
        except KeyError:
            # User does not exist
            pass            

Get member fullname

        mt = getToolByName(self, 'portal_membership')
        member = mt.getAuthenticatedMember()
        fullname" : member.getProperty('fullname')

Get member email address

        mt = getToolByName(self, 'portal_membership')
        member = mt.getAuthenticatedMember()
        fullname" : member.getProperty('fullname')

Manipulating user database

• Zope internal user database
• CMFMember or other product which presents users as site content
  
• External user database through PlonePAS (e.g. LDAP Windows user accounts)

    def createMember(self, id, pw, email, roles=('Member',)):
        pr = self.portal.portal_registration
        member = pr.addMember(id, pw, roles, properties={ 'username': id, 'email' : email })
        return member

    def createREAgent(self, id):
        md = self.portal.portal_memberdata
        tmp_id = id + '_tmp_id'
        md.invokeFactory(type_name='REAgent', id=tmp_id)
        return md._getOb(tmp_id)                    

Setting a member property on all members

This example shows how to change the editor for all users.

Below code is used from an external method, it was placed as 'switchToKupu.py' inside a product's 'Extensions/' directory. This was used to move users from Epoz to Kupu:

def switchToKupu(self):
    out = []
    # Collect members
    pm = self.portal_membership
    for memberId in pm.listMemberIds():
        member = pm.getMemberById(memberId)
        editor = member.getProperty('wysiwyg_editor', None)
        if editor == 'Kupu':
            out.append('%s: Kupu already selected, leaving alone' % memberId)
        else:
            member.setMemberProperties({'wysiwyg_editor': 'Kupu'})
            out.append('%s: Kupu has been set' % memberId)
    return "\n".join(out)
