I'm having a problem with AUTHENTICATED_USER.hasRole()
I have a user with the role 'Member' defined at the root level (and nowhere
else). I also have the following DTML method at the root level:
<dtml-if "REQUEST['AUTHENTICATED_USER'].hasRole(PARENTS[-1], ['Member'])">
You are a Member.
<dtml-else>
Your are NOT a Member.
</dtml-if>
When I first request the protected document /Bogus/membersonly, I'm prompted
to log in. When I do, I get access to the /Bogus/membersonly document.
Then when I request /Bogus/isMember, it says I am a Member. However, when I
request /isMember, it says I am NOT a Member. Anywhere I request isMember,
other than in the /Bogus folder, I am NOT a Member, even though the user is
defined at the root level with the Member role.
If I then request a protected document /membersonly, it shows me the
document without prompt. After I do that, when I request /isMember or
/AnyFolder/isMember, it now tells me I am a Member.
Why does it not recognize that I'm a user with the Member role anywhere on
the site until I access a protected document at the root level? Is this by
design or a bug? If by design, what's the reasoning?
Thanks!
