I think I was wrong.

I implemented it like this:

method you want to show is test,
method that shows the link is canIsee,
python script that tests is called showme.

showme:

if context.REQUEST.AUTHENTICATED_USER.has_permission('View','test'):
   return '<a href="test">test</a>'
else:
   return ''

canIsee:
<dtml-var showme>

test:
this just has the permissions set as you said.

That should do it!
