Jay,

Try <!--#if "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('foo')"-->. There was an excellent posting in the archives about all the possibilities with the user object. Also read the files in the AccessControl folder inside Zope/lib/python.

the has_role method I already use and is not convienient as it means I have to hard code the roles. I've looked in AccessControl and only come across def allowed(self,parent,roles=None): but was unsuccessful in getting it to do what I want. I will look for that email in the archives.
