Well, sure, it's a login method, right?

What you need to look at is the impersonate method, which is described in the long first section of

Is something like this??? It returns not authorized!

        auth.add_permission(db.auth_group(role="PORTEIRO")["id"],"impersonate",db.auth_user)

        auth.impersonate(4)# user 4 is included in the PORTEIRO group

Can you logout and login again? The group membership is cached and maybe you changed after you tried the code.
