Use

	portal_membership.checkPermission(permission,object)

to check whether the current user(!) has "permission" on "object".

As NUXGroups are implemented as local roles (as far as I know),
this should work when you get the correct object.

Tnx for the quick reply but I still can't get it right.
Went trough Zopelabs and even dug in the raw NuxUserGroups material without
any succes.

Found something in the 'Zope Book' related to 'roles'

 <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_role('Member')">
 <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRoles()">
 <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getRolesInContext('folder_name')">

Resolves in

 1
 ('Member', 'Authenticated')
 ['Member', 'Authenticated']

Aparrantly 'Groups' are not treated as 'roles' or 'local roles'

Trying to use code snippets from NuxUserGroups directly resultated in
numerus NameErrors and KeyErrors and AtributeErrors.

Probably searching in the wrong direction.

My only goal is to show a static image only to certain 'Members' who share
the same NuxUser 'group'.

Roel.
