[Zope-PAS] user login and roles

[Dvir Bar-lev]

I didn't explain myself properly, I shall try again.

I created in the ZMI thru the user manager a user, than I created thru
the role manager a role,
Now I have 2 things that I do nt how to do and that's what I need help
with:

1 - how do I associate a particular role to a particular user in the zmi
2 - in a log in form someone entres a user name and a password how can I
from a script find out if the same user and password exists in the zmi
and what role he has and than direct gim to an appropriate page?

Again I emphasize I need to do this from a script that I write and I
don't want to use the log in screen that the zope pops up if he tries to
enter a forbidden page

No, you assign a role to the user on the ZODB Role manager plugin.

That is done by User Manager plugin already. You don't have to do
anything. If it wasn't done, you wouldn't be able to log in, see?

You don't assign roles on login time.
