Hello warriors, what's the fastest way to find out whether a specific role has a specific permission on a specific object? What's the fastest way to find out if it's acquired? Even more interesting: How would I find out whether a specific role has a specific permission on a specific object, _taking_acquired_rights_into_account_??? In other words (management screen): "View" permission is not checked for the Anonymous role, but acquired. Therefore the "Anonymous" role maybe _does_ have the permission to "View" this object, through acquisition. Would I have to climb up the ladder manually and check every parent until acquisition has been "turned off", or is there some function - even if it's only available for an external method - that already does this work? I looked through the ZMI pages (and the .py's under "lib/python/AccessControl") but couldn't find anything useful for this purpose. Iterating through permission_settings takes too long and I don't know how to access the specific roles/permissions directly (by name), mainly because mapping constructions like "p199r0" are not very handy... Thank you very much in advance for your help (dtml, pyhton, or docs I didn't see), Danny
