[phplib] Accessing User variables as different user From: Nels Lindquist (nlindq <email protected>)

Hi there.

I have a situation that I'm not sure how to address using PHPLib.

I have a number of defined users in a web-based application. The
application depends upon certain registered User variables being
present after the individual authenticates. Those variables are then
copied to Session variables and used throughout the application.

The problem I'm having is that I want to be able to set User
variables at the time the user is created. Currently I have an
enormous kludge whereby I have to (as administrator) create the user,
log out, log back in as the user, go to a special form where I set
the variables in question and then log out.

The first time the user logs in, the variables have already been set,
and everything works. My method is too error prone and clumsy, and I
would prefer to have some administrator-level way of setting user
variables for users *other* than the currently authenticated one.

How should I approach this? Is it even possible?
