I managed to get both of those problems sorted. Thank you for your
input!
Attached below is the rough code I used:
@auth.requires_membership('administrators')
def create():
# set up groups to be put into
groups = db().select(db.auth_group.ALL)
group_fields = []
group_lookup = {}
# create the fields and a lookup table for the ids of the groups
if we want to add them
for g in groups:
name = "is_in_group_%s" % g.role
group_fields.append(Field(name, "boolean",
label=g.role.capitalize()))
group_lookup[name] = g.id
# create the form
form = SQLFORM.factory(db.auth_user,
Field("password_two", "password", requires=IS_EXPR('value==%s'
% repr(request.vars.get("password", None)),
error_message=auth.messages.mismatched_password),
label="Verify Password"),
*group_fields)
# if all good
if form.accepts(request.vars):
response.flash = 'User "%s" added successfully!' %
request.vars["username"]
# create an ignore list of input names to seperate the user
data from the rest
ignore_list = group_lookup.keys() + ["password_two",
"_formname"]
# seperate the user_data
user_data = {}
for k in request.vars:
if k not in ignore_list:
user_data[k] = request.vars[k]
# create the new user
new_user = db.auth_user.insert(**user_data)
# process the membership information
for g in group_lookup.keys():
if request.vars.get(g, None).lower() == "on":
auth.add_membership(group_lookup[g], new_user)
elif form.errors:
response.flash = 'An error has occurred.'
else:
response.flash = 'Please fill out the form.'
return dict(form=form)
