What is the proper way to validate zope's security in an unrestricted script?

...object = make a request object and wrap the root zope object...

result = object.aq_acquire(methodName) if not AccessControl.getSecurityManager().validate(object, None, methodName, result): raise Exception('Unauthorised:' + methodName)

I know this should be close to what is should be. But what about an objects properties, and accessing their __str__ and __call__ type methods.

I am almost sure that they are not protected in a special way. This means: when you can access the object (as checked above) and the object has an "__str__" or "__call__" method, then you can use "str(obj)" and "obj(...)" with further restriction by the security machinery. Tell me, when you are able to prove me wrong... -- Dieter
