Can someone explain the following? I create a method in my ZODB root containing the following DTML: <dtml-var standard_html_header> user: <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()"><br> can view: <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('View',_.getitem('id',1))"><br> <dtml-var standard_html_footer> If I run this snippet for a logged in user, I get: user: dee124 can view: 1 However, for a user who has not logged in, I get: user: Anonymous User can view: 0 even though the ZODB root shows that Anonymous has "View" permission. Is this a bug in Zope? Cheers, Darran. -- Darran Edmundson [Darran.Edmundson@anu.edu.au]
