[Zope] manage_access: show permissions for a user

[Florian Mueller]

Thanks for the hint!

I got the .has_role to work, but the
AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission(myFile,'View')  is not working for me:
I think I have to write
('View',myFile)
but still, I have no clue what to replace myFile with.
I want to check the permission of the actual file, i.e. the file which
contains this code,
and also the permission settings of the folder containing this file.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Cheers,
Floyd
