You are correct - I have found that to be a great way to find the API
for different tasks, especially when coupled with the DocFinder tab.
However, that solution only adds the role to the acl_users area, and not
the security tab. In order to add a role in Plone 2.5, one has to add
the role in two places - the acl_users and the Security tab. take a look
at
http://plone.org/documentation/faq/adding-role/?searchterm=add%20a%20role.
This is why the GenericSetup approach is nice :)
I go the acl_users part to work (see below). My original question was
reagarding the Security tab in the ZMI. How do I replicate the Add Role
funtion in my Install.py script? I can't seem to find a reference in the
DocFinder tab for that section.
I have not specifically tried this on Plone 2.5, but I just found this
bit in some two-year-old code I have laying around:
portal=getToolByName(self,'portal_url').getPortalObject()
roles=list(portal.__ac_roles__)
for role in ('CustomRole1','CustomRole2',):
if role not in roles:
roles.append(role)
portal.__ac_roles__=tuple(roles)
Don't really know if it will work for you, but I guess it's worth a shot :)
