What do I have done wrong ?

you don't want to evaluate truth: you want to see if there's an exception. If I had the problem, I would object intensively:

He wants to check whether the current user has 'View' permission for "mymethod". His code should always return a truth value and never raise an "Unauthorized" exception. As reported in an earlier post, I cannot fully reproduce his observation. I do not need "View" permission but I do need an "Access Contents Information" permission. As the code above does not access any contents of "mymethod", this is definitely a bug. Not very serious, but nevertheless a bug... Dieter
