I have a folder with various boolean properties associated with it which are accessed by the dtml docs as flags for enabling or disabling content. Turn off the flag and a chunk of the page goes away when it is next viewed. This works great, but I would like to associate that behaviour with the security attributes. In other words, when somebody in the Anonymous role is viewing objects in the folder the properties should be unset, but when users in the manager (or some other specific role) view the pages then the properties should be set and those parts of the pages are activated.
How can this be done?
You could, using AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role() and manage_changeProperties(). I think it will be better if you completely skip the property setting though.. You could just show content using <!--#if ATHENTICATED_USER.has_role(['Anonymous'])--> Content _only_ for the Anonymous user <!--#/if--> <!--#if ATHENTICATED_USER.has_role(['Manager'])--> Content for users with the Manager role. <!--#/if--> This way you don't accidently let any properties float around, causing content to be shown to the wrong people. -- M.J.
