Does anyone have any more information on AUTHENTICATED_USER? We saw a while back that it has properties (AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role(['Manager', 'Editor'])). I would like to be able to get the user name, and use that to index simple files for users. Is there something like AUTHENTICATED_USER['UserName']?? This is essentially the information that is returned if you try <!--#var AUTHENTICATED_USER-->. However, if you try something like <!--#if "AUTHENTICATED_USER in objectIds()"-->, it does not work.

AUTHENTICATED_USER itself is an object -- the reason <!--#var AUTHENTICATED_USER--> gives you the user name is that it effectively does an str() on the user object. To work with the user name directly, you can use the getUserName() method of the user object: <!--#if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName() in objectIds()"--> Brian Lloyd brian@digicool.com Software Engineer 540.371.6909 Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com
