Maybe I'm being dumb, but this doesn't work for me: This doesn't work at all: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('View',subfolder)"> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('Access contents information',subfolder)"> This always returns false: <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('View','subfolder')"> <dtml-if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('Access contents information','subfolder')"> How do I use this?

Thanks. Brian Lloyd also mentioned has_permission() in reply to my post on the (mis)use of hasRole(). Dieter Maurer wrote:
Look in the embedded Online Help system -> API reference -> User
I'd already had a look in the online help, but there's no section for User (at least in my Zope installation), and the section for AuthenticatedUser doesn't list has_permission() - perhaps it ought to. I will concede, though, that I could easily enough have done a grep through the Zope source for the likely candidates, "def hasPermission" or "def has_permission" <sheepish grin>.
