setMemberProperties returning unauthorised access

[AshRaghav]

Hi,

I am getting this message when I try to access setMemberProperties this way

membership = getToolByName(context , 'portal_membership')
DesiredMember = membership.getMemberById(DesiredMemberID)
DesiredMember.setMemberProperties(mapping={"email":UpdatedEmail})

Unauthorized: You are not allowed to access 'setMemberProperties' in this context
Context is

I can update the UserName using updateLoginName but the updating properties appear to be an issue.

Any ideas?

Thanks

This is not related to Plomino, it is a security restriction for any PythonScripts in Plone (and Plomino uses PythonScripts to execute its formulas).

Thanks @ebrehault - does it mean I won't be able to update it through the above code? or should I change the approach completely?

You might try to run this code in an agent and use the "Run as owner" thing so it is exectued with admin right, but it might not be enough. If so, then you need to do it outside of Plomino (in an external method or in browser view).
