You can explicitly check permissions like this:

from zope.security.management import getInteraction

interaction = getInteraction()

interaction.checkPermission('mypermission', object):

To determine if the user has the permission 'mypermission' on the object 
(due to local roles, group membership, etc). object could be a content 
object or a view.
