Re: [Zope3-Users] User data / metadata
You could do it directly. In fact, you could even have 'members' as regular content objects in the site and write an authentication utility which looks up those members and builds a security Principal object off of that. I believe this is what Schoolbell does. This sounds interesting - are you suggesting building a Principal object 'on the fly' when someone logs in (and throwing it away when they log out again)? What would be the advantages of having them as a regular content object, rather than working with Principals?

[Zope3-Users] User data / metadata
Hello list, A small 'conceptual' question... Both Stephan and Philipp's books recommend using principal metadata to store users' email addresses etc. If I intend to use the email addresses (and other contact information I want to store for the user) within the application (i.e., other objects will want to present it on screen), has it crossed the border from metadata to data, and would it consequently make sense to define principals with these attributes directly?
