[Zope] AUTHENTICATED_USER and :method calls

Im having some weird problems with AUTHENTICATED_USER... I have a form that calls a function called "newReport" using the following code <form> <input type=submit name="newReport:method" value="New"> </form> Although I am logged in as the user "techy1", if I access AUTHENTICATED_USER from within newReport using the following code: user = str(self.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER) I get 'Anonymous User'. However the code still runs with the permissions of techy1 if I call newReport normally (<form action="newReport">) everything works correctly. Any ideas?
