Hi, I got the following class: from AccessControl import ClassSecurityInfo from Products.ZPatterns.Specialists import Specialist import Globals class MyClass(Specialist): security = ClassSecurityInfo() security.declarePrivate('test') def test(self): return 'test' Globals.InitializeClass(MyClass) Foolish old trusting me thought that 'test' would not be accessible from restricted code. And it really isn't accessible to anonymous users, but is freely accessible to all authenticated users.
