[Zope] Is there a way to have users add themselves to a role?

[StefanH.Holek]

You would have to do that from unrestricted Python, that is an 
ExternalMethod or Python product code. Something like:

def addRoleToUser(self, username, newrole):
   uf = self.folder.acl_users
   roles = uf.getUser(username).getRoles() + (newrole,)
   uf._changeUser(username, 'password', 'pconfirm', roles, ())

Passing the strings 'password' and 'pconfirm' for password and 
confirmation respectively, is the user folder protocol for saying: 
"Leave the password unchanged."

HTH,
Stefan
