Hi

I am using the security system for the first time, so this question could be trivial.

I want to check in one DTML Method whether the current user has permission to view another one. So I have tried the following, where editContact is the target method.

<dtml-if expr="_.SecurityCheckPermission('View', editContact())">

Hi, untested <dtml-if expr="_.SecurityCheckPermission('View', editContact)"> Note the missing brackets after editContact. I think SecurityCheckPermission won't want to be handed the return value (output) of your object editContact, just the object itself, thus it's clearly wrong to call it. Your confusion might come from the fact that "this" is indeed a method, which, when called, returns the object where "this" is called. cheers, oliver
