In digging through the discussions here I've come across two auth methods that allow for checking a user's authorization:
auth.is_logged_in() and auth.has_permission() These are really useful, but aren't documented in the web2py book (They're used a couple of times in other recipes, but they're never explained or highlighted.) So I'm wondering (a) whether these could be highlighted in the authorization chapter; and (b) whether there are other similar auth methods. Does, for example, auth.is_member(auth.user_id) exist to check for group membership? Don't get me wrong, the decorators are great. But sometimes I need something more fine-grained for (e.g.) controlling visibility of elements in a view on a per-role basis. Thanks, Ian
