I do not understand why the security API is different for DTML
and other parts of Zope (bad design!). Outside of DTML, you use
the "SecurityManager" API:

    tal:define="SecurityManager modules/AccessControl/getSecurityManager"

    "SecurityManager.getUser()"
    "SecurityManager.checkPermission(...)"
    ....
