not as login but there are the proxy roles you can assign to
an object (script) to do something with raised privs.
 
If not, is there a way for admins to view the passwords of their users ?


Usually no. (most sane userfolders hash the passwords and dont store
them clear text)

Yes.

It is AccessControl.SecurityManagement.newSecurityManager.

Hello,

In Unix, there's the 
"su" command which admins can use to log in as another user.

Is there a similar 
facility in Zope ?

If not, is there a 
way for admins to view the passwords of their users ?

Regards,Danny

You can create a new security context using the newSecurityManager() API.
Google for details.

Passwords in newer Zope versions are stored as a hash. Older Zope versions 
used to store the password as '__' attribute of the user object.

Hello.

 In Unix, there's the su command which admins can use to log in as
 another user.

 Is there a similar facility in Zope ?

 If not, is there a way for admins to view the passwords of their
 users ?

Depending of your Zope version, if you don't encrypt the user passwords
( check properties tab of your User Folder ) you can retrieve the user
password.

External method example:

def getPasswordByName(self, username):
user = self.acl_users.getUser(username)
password = user._getPassword()
return password

Best regards,

@228, Nbk
