use security in velocity macro

[Seth Weiner <sa...@duke.edu>]

Hi,

I'm trying to build a dynamic menu in my top.vm that will show links to
various pages/panes based upon whether the user has security rights to
view that page.  So if there are say 10 pages defined in the
application, a given user might only have the 'view' permission on 5 of
them.  I would then want only 5 links to be displayed to those pages in
my top.vm.  Is there a $security object in the context that would have a
method i could pass a page name or pane name and retrieve the
permissions for the current user?  Something like:
 
$security.checkPermission("apache", "default.psml", "view") 

I think that would pretty much solve my problem.

Thanks in advance,
